cannot import matlab file to python code

I am on a project on machine learning. trained the data in matlab R2015a and obtained a file abc.m . I get the expected result from matlab file while giving input from the matlab command window. i have developed the interface in pyqt5 and got the file in python . Want to import .m file to python for usage.

have Anaconda 2.4.1 installed on my computer with python 3.5. working on Windows 8.1

Can anyone help ? totally stuck with the project.

My code is as follows :

import scipy.io as sio
import numpy as np

from sklearn import preprocessing

ab = sio.loadmat('latest.m')
......

But i get the following error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py",line 8,in <module>
 ab = sio.loadmat('latest.m')
 File "C:\anaconda\Lib\site-packages\scipy\io\matlab\mio.py",line 58,in mat_reader_factory
 mjv,mnv = get_matfile_version(byte_stream)
 File "C:\anaconda\Lib\site-packages\scipy\io\matlab\miobase.py",line 241,in get_matfile_version
 raise ValueError('Unknown mat file type,version %s,%s' % ret)
 ValueError: Unknown mat file type,version 111,114

loadmat loads a MATLAB data file, e.g. the result of some code. MATLAB data files have .mat extension.

Loading a .m file means loading a bunch of text that doesnt mean anything without a MATLAB interpreter! What you want is to load a .mat file, a file containing matrices, strings or whatever it has been saved there.

EDIT I have just seen @valtuarte 's link to What is the difference between .m and .mat files in MATLAB . Have a check!
