Handle Data Returned from MATLAB to Python

When MATLAB^® functions return output arguments, MATLAB converts the data into equivalent Python^® data types.

MATLAB Output Argument Type (scalar unless otherwise noted)	Resulting Python Data Type
Numeric array	`matlab` numeric array object (see MATLAB Arrays as Python Variables)
`double` `single`	`float`
Complex (any numeric type)	`complex`
`int8` `uint8` `int16` `uint16` `int32`	`int`
`uint32` `int64` `uint64`	`int` `long`
`NaN`	`float('nan')`
`Inf`	`float('inf')`
`logical`	`bool`
`char` array (1-by-`N`, `N`-by-1) `char` array (`M`-by-`N`)	`str` Not supported
structure	`dict`
Row or column cell array	`list`
`M`-by-`N` cell array	Not supported
MATLAB handle object (`table`, `containers.Map`, categorical array)	Not supported
Other object (e.g., Java^®)	Not supported
Function handle	Not supported
Sparse array	Not supported
String array	Not supported
Structure array	Not supported
