How to access and use data from .mat file in jupyter notebook? [closed]

I'm trying to access a .mat file which contains various fields (constants, vectors, variables) where the variables are 10000x100 matrices and vectors are of size 1x100.

I tries to access the same using various packages like loadmat from scipy, loadmat from mat4py, tried by importing the package h5py and read_mat from pymatreader, but when I try to run the code, neither it shows any error not it prints the print statements.

Also I tried to install the matlabengine using pip but it doesn't get installed, maybe because my matlab version is 2024a and matlabengine support is in 2026a.

Kindly recommend me the correct way to access the same. The snippet of my code is here as attached.

#Python code for solving nonlinear equations numerically 
from scipy.optimize import fsolve
from scipy.optimize import root
import numpy as np
import numpy.lib.scimath as math
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import pandas as pd
#from scipy.io import loadmat
#from mat4py import loadmat
from pymatreader import read_mat

# Define constants (symbols or assign numeric values later)
chi_= 20
beta_= 4
chi0= 1
chi1= 10
alpha_chi= 1
D0= 0.25
D1= 2.5
alpha_D= 0.1
mu_c= 1.2
lam= 0.5
den = 10

def F(X):
    Q, Gam, g1, g2, g3 = X
    # Load .mat file correctly
    data = read_mat(r'E:\Rahul\Data_tokamak\data&plot\data3-field_ITB\data_3f_itb\Fisher_ITB_data\set5\data1_x0_03.mat')
    print("Type of data:", type(data))
    print("Data content preview:")
    # Remove MATLAB meta keys
    data_keys = [k for k in data.keys() if not k.startswith('__')]
    print("Keys found in file:", data_keys)

    if len(data_keys) == 0:
        raise KeyError("No user-defined variables found in MAT file.")

    # Get the first variable automatically
    var_name = data_keys[0]
    data_1 = np.array(data[var_name])
    print(f"Loaded variable '{var_name}' with shape {data_1.shape}")
#Define Q Gam g1 g2 g3
