The purpose of the F2PY --Fortran to Python interface generator--
project is to provide connection between Python and Fortran
languages. F2PY is a Python extension tool for creating Python
C/API modules from (handwritten or F2PY generated) signature files
(or directly from Fortran sources). The generated extension modules
facilitate:

    * Calling Fortran 77/90/95, Fortran 90/95 module, and C functions
    from Python.
    * Accessing Fortran 77 COMMON blocks and Fortran 90/95 module
    data (including allocatable arrays) from Python.
    * Calling Python functions from Fortran or C (call-backs).  *
    Automatically handling the difference in the data storage order
    of multi-dimensional Fortran and Numerical Python (i.e. C) arrays.

In addition, F2PY can build the generated extension modules to shared
libraries with one command. F2PY uses the scipy_distutils module from
SciPy that supports number of major Fortran compilers.
