Can you post your fortran source code?  The other key would be see what
f2py thinks it's doing, for instance in the output of f2py there two lines
that read:

```
Reading fortran codes...
Reading file 'test_file.f90' (format:free)
```

For the following source code:

```
subroutine my_func(a, b)

    implicit none

    integer, intent(in) :: a
    real(kind=8), intent(out) :: b

    b = real(a, kind=8) * 5.d0

end subroutine my_func
```

compiled with `f2py -c test_file.f90 -m my_module`
