Hi, Few months ago I joined a group of system biologist and I have been busy with new projects (mostly C++ based). So I haven't had a chance to work on f2py. However, I am still around to fix f2py bugs and maintain/support numpy.f2py (as long as current numpy maintainers allow it..) -- as a rule these tasks do not take much of my time. I have also rewritten f2py users guide for numpy.f2py and submitted a paper on f2py. I'll make them available when I get some more time..

: I agree (with your previous e-mail) that it would be good to have some documentation, so if you could give me some pointers on *what* to document (I haven't used f2py much), then I'll try my best to get around to it.
Well, I think my 'recap' message earlier in this thread points to a few issues that can probably be addressed quickly (the 'instead' error in the help, the doc/docs dichotomy needs to be cleaned up so a single documentation directory exists, etc). I'm also attaching a set of very old notes I wrote years ago on f2py that you are free to use in any way you see fit. I gave them a 2-minute rst treatment but didn't edit them at all, so they may be somewhat outdated (I originally wrote them in 2002 I think).
If Pearu has moved to greener pastures, f2py could certainly use an adoptive parent. It happens to be a really important piece of infrastructure and for the most part it works fairly well. I think a litlte bit of cleanup/doc integration with the rest of numpy is probably all that's needed, so it could be a good project for someone to adopt that would potentially be low-demand yet quite useful.
Cheers,
