Help converting MATLAB triple-for loop to Python

[davlovsky]

Hello, I have the following code in MATLAB which I am trying to convert to python, using numpy.

M = zeros(100,100);

imageFiles = dir('*.bmp');
nFiles = length(imageFiles);

for i = 1:nFiles
    currentFilename = imageFiles(i).name;
    f1 = fopen(num2str(currentFilename),'rb');
    fread(f1,13,'char');
    im = fread(f1,100*100,'uint8');
    %currentImage = imread(currentFilename);
    %im = currentImage;
    for k = 1:100
        for m = 1:100
            NIM(i,k,m) = im((k-1)*100+m);
        end
    end
    fclose(f1);
end

I'm unfamiliar with how to load a 3D matrix in python. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think you need to load '*.bmp' content manually in Python. Take a look at scikit-image package. skimage.io.imread returns 3D numpy array, if the file was successfully read.
