[Numpy-discussion] f2py with int8

[John Mitchell]

Thanks Paul.

I suppose this is now going slightly out of bounds for f2py.   What I am
looking for is the fortran kind type for a byte.  I thought that this was
int8.  I guess the question is how to identify the kind type.  Although I
have verified that integer(1) seems to work for me, I would really like to
know why and your answer alludes to that.

Please excuse my ignorance on this topic.  Can you perhaps educate me a
little on 'literal kind values'?  I take you to mean that
'int8' is not a literal kind value while 1 and 8 are examples of literal
kind values.

Thanks,
John
