How to obtain a gaussian filter in python

Question

I am using python to create a gaussian filter of size 5x5. I saw this post here where they talk about a similar thing but I didn\'t find the exact way to get equivalent python c

Answer 1

I found similar solution for this problem:

def fspecial_gauss(size, sigma):

    """Function to mimic the 'fspecial' gaussian MATLAB function
    """

    x, y = numpy.mgrid[-size//2 + 1:size//2 + 1, -size//2 + 1:size//2 + 1]
    g = numpy.exp(-((x**2 + y**2)/(2.0*sigma**2)))
    return g/g.sum()
