[SciPy-User] Using scipy.io.loadmat to read Matlab containers.Map object?

[Gerrit Holl]

Hi,

is it possible to use scipy.io.loadmat to read a Matlab containers.Map object?

>> cm = containers.Map();
>> cm('abc') = 42;
>> save('/tmp/test.mat', 'cm');


In [15]: M = scipy.io.loadmat('/tmp/test.mat')

In [16]: M.keys()
Out[16]: ['__function_workspace__', 'None', '__version__',
'__header__', '__globals__']

In [17]: M["None"]
Out[17]:
MatlabOpaque([ ('cm', 'MCOS', 'containers.Map', [[3707764736L], [2L],
[1L], [1L], [1L], [1L]])],
      dtype=[('s0', '|O8'), ('s1', '|O8'), ('s2', '|O8'), ('arr', '|O8')])
In [15]: M = scipy.io.loadmat('/tmp/test.mat')

In [16]: M.keys()
Out[16]: ['__function_workspace__', 'None', '__version__',
'__header__', '__globals__']

In [17]: M["None"]
Out[17]:
MatlabOpaque([ ('cm', 'MCOS', 'containers.Map', [[3707764736L], [2L],
[1L], [1L], [1L], [1L]])],
      dtype=[('s0', '|O8'), ('s1', '|O8'), ('s2', '|O8'), ('arr', '|O8')])



regards,
Gerrit.
