Read .mat files in Python

Is it possible to read binary MATLAB .mat files in Python?

I've seen that SciPy has alleged support for reading .mat files, but I'm unsuccessful with it. I installed SciPy version 0.7.0, and I can't find the loadmat() method.

python matlab file-io scipy mat-file

An import is required, import scipy.io...

import scipy.io
mat = scipy.io.loadmat('file.mat')
