Import Matlab Workspace variables into Spyder (Python)

I'm translating a code from Matlab into Python, and there inevitably are some bugs. I'm going through the code comparing variables to ensure the methods are equivalent.

Is there a way to import Matlab workspace variables into Spyder (or the other way around) so I can do a boolean truth comparison for each variable?

Solution

  • I saved the Matlab workspace as .mat file at 'File Location'

    import h5py
import numpy as np
f = h5py.File('File Location')
matlab_arr=f['array name']
matlab_arr=np.array(matlab_arr,dtype='f8')

    Could then do a comparison with:

    (matlab_arr==python_arr).all()

    or

    np.isclose(matlab_arr, python_arr).all()
