Does Fwrap support SCons?  I use SCons everywhere :)

Building binaries with distutil is annoying to me, and that's one of the
reasons for me to stop using f2py.

I am very interested in interfacing binaries with Python.  I also started a
thread for this topic at Convore:
https://convore.com/python-scientific-computing/mixing-languages-with-python/ .
 For those who might not know, as a result of discussion at the recent PyCon
scientific computing BOF, some people started an initiative for an online
scientific community focusing on broader application of Python, not
specifically to any Python package such as NumPy or SciPy.  The Convore
group is an early attempt.  You can find some context in the following
threads:
https://convore.com/python-scientific-computing/my-domainspecialty-of-scientific-computing-doesnt-have-a-community/
 and
https://convore.com/python-scientific-computing/a-scientific-community-using-python/
 .
