reading v 7.3 mat file in python
Question: I am trying to read a matlab file with the following code

    
    
    import scipy.io
    mat = scipy.io.loadmat('test.mat')
    

and it gives me the following error

    
    
    raise NotImplementedError('Please use HDF reader for matlab v7.3 files')
    NotImplementedError: Please use HDF reader for matlab v7.3 files
    

so could anyone please had the same problem and could please any sample code

Answer: Try using [`h5py`](http://www.h5py.org/) module

    
    
    import h5py
    f = h5py.File('test.mat')
    f.keys()
