[SciPy-dev] returning string by f2py

[dmitrey]

Hi Pearu,

have you encountered any success with the problem (returning string from 
fortran)?

If no, I could try to modify and connect to openopt and scipy bvls.f90 
version.

(However, I think connecting f77 code is more preferred than f90, 
because some computers can have f77 but have no f90 compiler installed, 
am I right)?

Regards, D.

BTW, I had noticed some parameters return incorrect value as well, for 
example loopa (number of iterations elapsed) always has same value that 
I pass to the fortran routine (even w/o any my modifications to code, 
simple f2py -c -m ...).
