[Numpy-discussion] compile fortran from python

[Ioan Ferencik]

I would like to compile some Fortran  code using python,  build a  
shared library, and link to it using python. But I get a message  
saying the compiler does not recognise the extension of my file.

this is my command:

gcc -fPIC -c -shared -fno-underscoring test.f95 -o ./lib/libctest.so.1.0

what is the easiest method to achieve this?
  I suspect  I could create a custom extension and customise the  
unixccompiler object or could I just use the compiler object defined  
by f2py(fcompiler).

Cheers
