Of course. If I would forget, I would notice that nothing would be 
built, anyway...

Yes there is; in fact there is a difference in all three.

In[1]: import scipy
In[2]: scipy.linalg.flapack.dgeev([[1,2,3],[1,2,3],[2,5,6]],0,0)
Out[2]: (array([ 9.43719064, -0.11536526, -0.32182538]),
array([ 0.,  0.,  0.]),
array([       [ 0.,  0.,  0.]]),
array([       [ 0.,  0.,  0.]]),
0)
In[3]: scipy.linalg.flapack.sgeev([[1,2,3],[1,2,3],[2,5,6]],0,0)
Out[3]: (array([ 0.,  0.,  0.],'f'),
array([ 0.,  0.,  0.],'f'),
array([       [ 0.,  0.,  0.]],'f'),
array([       [ 0.,  0.,  0.]],'f'), 3)
In[4]: scipy.linalg.calc_lwork.geev('d',3)
Out[4]: (12, 174)
