SMOP is a source-to-source compiler that translates Matlab and Octave code into human-readable Python. It includes a runtime library that can be compiled with Cython for additional performance.

Use cases

  • convert matlab scripts to python
  • translate octave code to numpy
  • migrate legacy matlab codebase to python
  • port matlab algorithms to python automatically
  • speed up octave code by running it in python

When to choose

  • you have existing Matlab or Octave code you want to run in Python without manual rewriting
  • you want readable Python output rather than an embedded interpreter
  • your code relies on numerical routines available in numpy/scipy

When to avoid

  • your Matlab code uses toolboxes or GUI features SMOP does not support
  • you need a fully supported, actively developed migration tool
  • you only need to run Matlab code, not convert it
