How can I convert complex .mat file to csv using python

Question

I am trying to convert a .mat file to csv using python. The code I am using is

import scipy.io
import numpy as np

data = scipy.io.loadmat(\"wiki.mat\")

for i

Save an array to a text file.

You can, unfortunately, only store a single numeric numpy array in a single file. Whereas your .mat file contains a structure:

>> fieldnames(imdb)
                        ans = 
                        {
                          [1,1] = dob
                          [2,1] = photo_taken
                          [3,1] = full_path
                          [4,1] = gender
                          [5,1] = name
                          [6,1] = face_location
                          [7,1] = face_score
                          [8,1] = second_face_score                          
                          [9,1] = celeb_names
                          [10,1] = celeb_id
                        }
>> imdb.name(1)        
                        ans = 
                        {
                          [1,1] = Fred Astaire
                        }

It might make sense to convert the data to a numpy dictionary (as described in "Complex matlab-like data structure in python (numpy/scipy)"), and store that as a .csv using How do I convert this list of dictionaries to a csv file? [Python]
