I'm not aware of any such function. But you could write it simply as:
def str2array(arrayStr):
return [[int(i) for i in s.split()] for s in arrayStr.split('\n')]
(or replace int() by float() if you expect floating point numbers)
But if you want to use python to replace matlab, you should look in to
numpy. numpy is a popular python module that supports scientific
computation. It includes support for two-dimensional arrays. If you
use numpy, you may get some support on this list, but there are also
numpy-specific lists.
