[Numpy-discussion] Calling routines from a Fortran library using python

[George Nurser]

I'm suggesting writing a *new* Fortran interface, coupled with f2py.
The original library just needs to be linked to the new .so generated
by f2py. I am hoping (perhaps optimistically) that can be done in the
Fortran compilation...
