• Csv To Mat File

I am trying to convert a.mat file to csv using python.

I have read a Matlab file containing a large amount of arrays as a dataset into Python storing the Matlab Dictionary under the variable name mat using the command:mat = loadmat('Sample Matlab Extract.mat')Is there a way I can then use Python's write to csv functionality to save this Matlab dictionary variable I read into Python as a comma separated file? With open('mycsvfile.csv','wb') as f:w = csv.writer(f)w.writerows(mat.items)f.closecreates a CSV file with one column containing array names within the dictionary and then another column containing the first element of each corresponding array. Is there a way to utilize a command similar to this to obtain all corresponding elements within the arrays inside of the 'mat' dictionary variable? I was hoping there was a way to write all of the variables and their corresponding values into a type of data matrix if you will that I can then import into IBM SPSS Modeler to conduct some analysis on the data. I was hoping to avoid iterating over the entire dictionary variable until all variables have been read because I am new to Python and know this would take a understanding of logic that I feel I don't have in the language.

Will look into understanding HDF5 and any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!–Jul 15 '14 at 16:33.
