Hi,

many thanks for your detailed reply - so it will be
a bit more work than I hoped ;-). But I only heard good things
about f2py, so I will give it a try!

Concerning documentation:

That would be really good!!

+"some large number" ;-)

If only each scipy-user submits his simple example to test
his most often used routine + a few lines of documentation this
would help enormously!

Improving documentation (apart from testing and bug reports ;-)
seems to me the place where "we" users could really help.
