I have a Matlab file containing an array of datetime objects with 18750 timestamps.

When I use scipy.io to import the data, it gives the following output which is very different.

I am expecting an array of timestamps just like what is seen in Matlab. Any idea how I can achieve this? Thank you very much for your time and attention.

Possible duplicate of stackoverflow.com/questions/32913301/…, which said that the simplest way to do this is to export the dates as strings and grab them back with usual Python datetime.datetime methods. TimeStamps are a date format only used by Matlab, according to stackoverflow.com/questions/48542674/…

My data is Matlab Datetime datatype NOT a 1x1 java.lang.String.

@ShivamMishra the OP of the other post is mistaken, he also has a TimeStamp object
