v0.4.0

• Improvements:

  • Automatic conversion to int using the function signature will now use the type
    annotations, then the default value if no annotation is present. Optional[int]
    values will be converted to int.

• Bug fixes:

  • In some distributions of MATLAB the automatic conversion from Numpy ndarray using
    MATLAB's double does not work. If it fails, convert to a regular py.array
    first, this should be more reliable.

v0.3.0

• Bug fixes

  • Check for correct Matlab version (>=2019a) when converting Numpy arrays with
    double. Converting with double works for Numpy arrays with >=2019a,
    but only works for native py.array.array arrays in 2018a/b.

• Improvements

  • Only warn once if converting a Numpy array in an old Matlab version (less than 2019a)
  • Only determine Matlab version once for increased performance

New help and doc functions

This releases changes the API - now in addition to the pyobj property, subclasses must declare a classname which is a string being the Python class name of the wrapped class, obtained from type(obj) in Python.

This change enables the new overloaded help and doc functions to obtain a reference to the Python objects to get docstrings using the pydoc system. In addition it means that users no longer have to define the helpobj property as this can now be obtained from the classname.

Patch release to add warnings

Adds a static method to direct Python warnings to sys.stdout which is mirrored by Matlab, unlike sys.stderr.

First alpha release

First alpha release.

• Allows Matlab to wrap arbitrary Python classes.
• Allows saving Python classes to mat files (data is pickled so any classes which cannot be pickled will not be saved correctly).
• Overloads help command to print pydoc help text in Matlab.
