I am trying to work with the Street View House Numbers Dataset in Python. To load the .mat file digitStruct.mat in python I am using H5py
import h5py
labels_file = './sv/train/digitStruct.mat'
f = h5py.File(labels_file)
struct= f.values()
names = struct[1].values()
print(names[1][1].value)
I get [<HDF5 object reference>]
but I need to know the actual string
