Simple is the wrong idea. But I'd guess that you can access your Fortan
from C. If so, Pyrex provides a C-for-Python-coder tool. OTOH, just
reading the stuff in Python might be simpler than doing all the
interfacing. (I presume that you are just reading the data. If you have
verified working numeric code in Fortran, it's probably worthwhile to
interface with it instead of porting it).
