Python function to read bhv2 files

Hi Jaewon,

would it be possible for you to make function that reads bhv2 files in Python? I think it would be convenient to store it in a pandas DataFrame.

Best,
Daniel

Sorry. I don't have time to make an extension for another language. It may work to convert BHV2 to MAT with the bhv2mat function and read the MAT file in Python.

Fair enough.

You documented the bhv2 format well, so it should be easy to implement something.
I'll let you know when I have something that works.

Did you find a way to be able to read bhv's in python?

Thanks in advance

To anyone finding this post, Jaewon's suggestion of first converting bhv2 to mat files and then using scipy.io.loadmat worked for me. Make sure to use the argument 'simplify_cells = True' in the loadmat function because the monkeylogic files are nested structs, otherwise it won't be formatted correctly.
