If Nils has no access to the Fortran interface (and I don't think he has, unless there is some .mod file somewhere?), he shouldn't use f2py. Even if you know that the Fortran routine is named XXX, you don't know how the arguments must be given. Addressing the C interface directly is much safer.

I'm suggesting writing a *new* Fortran interface, coupled with f2py. The original library just needs to be linked to the new .so generated by f2py. I am hoping (perhaps optimistically) that can be done in the Fortran compilation...

If header files are provided, the work done by f2py is almost done. But you don't know the real Fortran interface, so you still have to use ctypes over f2py.

Hi Nils, I've not tried it, but you might be able to interface with f2py your own fortran subroutine that calls the library. Then issue the f2py command with extra arguments -l<libname> -L<directory with lib>.
See section 5 of http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/f2py2e/usersguide/index.html#command-f2py

Hi all,
I have a static library (*.a) compiled by gfortran but no source files. How can I call routines from that library using python ?
Any pointer would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
