passing data to Fortran in Python

[Travis Oliphant]

There are two solutions that I know of.  This month two programs were
released that can autogenerate C-extension modules to call (fairly)
arbitrary Fortran code.  In no particular order they are.

f2py  by  Pearu Peterson

   This is version 0.61 to get version 0.71 (what I use) you need to check
    it out from the CVS server.  Pearu can help you, there.

You should look at the matrix-sig archives for the month of July to see
posts regarding them.
