Edit : scipy is NOT present in ParaView 5.7 on windows.

To answer your questions :

> Is there any way to install external python modules into Paraview?

Not yet. It should be possible in 5.8 if all goes well

> If not how can I import mat files?

Open them in matlab and save them into .vtk format
