Input and output (scipy.io)¶
SciPy has many modules, classes, and functions available to read data from and write data to a variety of file formats.

MATLAB® files¶
| loadmat(file_name[, mdict, appendmat]) | Load MATLAB file :Parameters: file_name : str Name of the mat file (do not need .mat extension if appendmat==True) Can also pass open file-like object. |
| savemat(file_name, mdict[, appendmat, ...]) | Save a dictionary of names and arrays into a MATLAB-style .mat file. |
| whosmat(file_name[, appendmat]) | List variables inside a MATLAB file :Parameters: file_name : str Name of the mat file (do not need .mat extension if appendmat==True) Can also pass open file-like object. |
IDL® files¶
| readsav(file_name[, idict, python_dict, ...]) | Read an IDL .sav file :Parameters: file_name : str Name of the IDL save file. |
Matrix Market files¶
| mminfo(source) | Queries the contents of the Matrix Market file ‘filename’ to extract size and storage information. |
| mmread(source) | Reads the contents of a Matrix Market file ‘filename’ into a matrix. |
| mmwrite(target, a[, comment, field, precision]) | Writes the sparse or dense array a to a Matrix Market formatted file. |
Unformatted Fortran files¶
| FortranFile(filename[, mode, header_dtype]) | A file object for unformatted sequential files from Fortran code. |
Wav sound files (scipy.io.wavfile)¶
| read(filename[, mmap]) | Return the sample rate (in samples/sec) and data from a WAV file :Parameters: filename : string or open file handle Input wav file. |
| write(filename, rate, data) | Write a numpy array as a WAV file :Parameters: filename : string or open file handle Output wav file rate : int The sample rate (in samples/sec). |
Arff files (scipy.io.arff)¶
| loadarff(f) | Read an arff file. |
Netcdf (scipy.io.netcdf)¶
| netcdf_file(filename[, mode, mmap, version]) | A file object for NetCDF data. |
| netcdf_variable(data, typecode, size, shape, ...) | A data object for the netcdf module. |
