I created a 1X20 struct in Matlab. This struct has 9 fields. The struct is saved in -v7.3 version because of its dimensions (about 3 Giga). one of the fields contains 4D matrix, other contain cell arrays, meaning it is a complex struct. I would like to know if there is a way to load this struct into Python?

Do you have a (smaller) sample of the struct? – Jan May 28 '17 at 08:26

Tried `scipy.io.loadmat`? – Daniel May 28 '17 at 08:54

`scipy` `loadmat` can load Matlab matrix, cell and struct. - as dictionaries and numpy arrays. But at some level matlab switched to `HDF5`, in which case you have to use `h5py`. Do SO search on those terms. – hpaulj May 28 '17 at 09:08

MATLAB v7.3 uses HDF5 storage; scipy.io.loadmat cannot handle that
MATLAB: Differences between .mat versions
Instead you have to use numpy plus h5py
How to read a v7.3 mat file via h5py?
how to read Mat v7.3 files in python ？
and a scattering of more recent questions.
Try that, and come back with a new question it you still have problems sorting out the results.
