If you want to interact with a program, you need to use popen2 or
popen3, which give you access to the stdin, stdout and stderr
(popen3).

See this thread for a similar discussion and working example:

Note, you could also expose the fortran functions to python directly
with f2py.  It is really very easy and automated
