Exchance of complex variables not working about python-matlab-bridge HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting! I'd never tested it with complex data-types. It's too
bad that it doesn't just work. We are working on a rather extensive
refactor of the pymatbridge, so once things settle, we can see if we can't
find a good solution for this. Preferably pass the variables around via
IPC, rather than the current solution that uses the file-system (the error
is coming from the underlying HDF5 file library implementing that).

Trying to use the magic syntax with a variable transfer of a complex
matrix using
%%matlab -o Y
gives the following error:

the HDF5 class H5T_COMPOUND is not supported yet
The leaf will become an UnImplemented node.

The workaround of storing the real and imaginary part in Matlab, transfer
them and combine them later in python works, but is a little cumbersome to
do. (I guess this is more a feature request than a bug.)

I just checked the HDF5 File created in the tmp-folder. It gets written fine from Matlab, but PyTables cannot open the Matlab-style complex HDF5 file. The package h5py can read this kind of data and could be used instead of PyTables for the task. I will try to implement this for me if not too hard.

Great. Thanks so much for looking into this! Please do submit a pull
request against my master if you find a good solution.

I will let you know, if I succeed.

Thanks for merging my bugfix. Basic complex data transfer from Matlab to Python works now fine. There is still a bug when changing the size of a already transfered variable. I will file another bug report. Actually two. :)
