F2PY changing integers to arrays???

[john]

I have a simple module which performs basic operations on plot3d files
(below).  I wrapped like:

f2py --fcompiler=gfortran -m plot3d -c prec.f90 plot3d.f90

That seems to work fine, but i get some unexpected results...

>>> from plot3d import plot3d as p3
>>> dir(p3)
['imax', 'jmax', 'kmax', 'mg', 'prc', 'printall', 'readit', 'writeit',
'writeit2d']
>>> p3.readit( "mesh.xrtz.dat", "FORMATTED", ".TRUE." )
>>> p3.imax
array(409)


"409" is correct, but "imax" is declared as an INTEGER in fortran and
now it's an array in python???  Any ideas?








# prec.f90
MODULE prec
IMPLICIT NONE
INTEGER, PARAMETER :: single = SELECTED_REAL_KIND(p=6,r=37)
INTEGER, PARAMETER :: double = SELECTED_REAL_KIND(p=15,r=200)
END MODULE prec
