F2PY - Fortran to Python Interface Generator -------------------------------------------- I am pleased to announce the ninth public release of F2PY, version 2.45.241_1926. The purpose of the F2PY project is to provide the connection between Python and Fortran programming languages. For more information, see http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/f2py2e/ Download: http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/f2py2e/2.x/F2PY-2-latest.tar.gz http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/f2py2e/2.x/F2PY-2-latest.win32.exe http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/f2py2e/2.x/scipy_distutils-latest.tar.gz http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/f2py2e/2.x/scipy_distutils-latest.win32.exe What's new? ------------ * Added support for wrapping signed integers and processing .pyf.src template files. * F2PY fortran objects have _cpointer attribute holding a C pointer to a wrapped function or a variable. When using _cpointer as a callback argument, the overhead of Python C/API is avoided giving for using callback arguments the same performance as calling Fortran or C function from Fortran or C, at the same time retaining the flexibility of Python. * Callback arguments can be built-in functions, fortran objects, and CObjects (hold by _cpointer attribute, for instance). * New attribute: ``intent(aux)`` to save parameter values. * New command line switches: --help-link and --link-<resource> * Numerous bugs are fixed. Support for ``usercode`` statement has been improved. * Documentation updates.
