Hi,

For the wafo [1] package we are trying to include the extension compilation process in setup.py [2] by using setuptools and numpy.distutils [3]. Some of the extensions have one Fortran interface source file, but it depends on several other Fortran sources (modules). The manual compilation process would go as follows:

gfortran -fPIC -c source_01.f
gfortran -fPIC -c source_02.f
f2py -m module_name -c source_01.o source_02.o source_interface.f

Can this workflow be incorporated into setuptools/numpy.distutils? Something along the lines as:

from numpy.distutils.core import setup, Extension
ext = Extension('module.name',
               depends=['source_01.f', 'source_02.f'],
               sources=['source_interface.f'])

(note that the above does not work)
