[SciPy-user] Best way to save ND-arrays for Matlab?

[Zachary Pincus]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the scipy.io.mio tools to write out some arrays for  
matlab users. This works quite well, with the exception of some 3D  
arrays that I have, which (as per the documentation) get flattened to  
2D during the process. (I'm saving to version 4 .mat files, which I  
need for compatibility with some folk's versions of Matlab.)

Is there any good way to save this data in a less-awkward format for  
the eventual users? Or is this a limitation of the format?

Thanks,
