Numpy equivalent of MATLAB’s cell array

by

Matlab cell arrays are most similar to Python lists, since they can hold any object – but scipy.io.loadmat imports them as numpy object arrays – which is an array with dtype=object.

To be honest though you are just as well off using Python lists – if you are holding general objects you will loose almost all of the advantages of numpy arrays (which are designed to hold a sequence of values which each take the same amount of memory).
