That ticket certainly needs work. First of all, it does not provide a
patch, but only a .py file. Then, it is not clear to me whether the
conversion routines should be put into the global name space, or
whether there is a nice syntax to use them.

For example, I think it would be nice if Sage could auto-detect the
format of a data file. That's to say, if "mydata.mat" provides
something that is stored in matlab format, then it would be nice if X
= load("mydata.mat") just worked (by dispatching to scipy.io, for
example). The attachment of #7317 doesn't provide this.

Best regards,
Simon
