Do not understand what f2py is reporting

I'm attempting to build wrappers around two Fortran routines. One is a Fortran 77 subroutine (see file gravity_derivs.f) that calls a Fortran 90 package that performs automatic differentiation (see file auto_deriv.f90). I'm running he Anaconda distribution for Python 3.7.6 on a Mac Pro (2019) under Mac OS X Catalina (ver. 10.15.6). The version of NumPy I'm running is 1.18.3. The commands I used to attempt the build are contained in the file auto_deriv_build. The messages output by f2py are captured in the file auto_derivs_build_report.txt. I don't understand the cause behind the error messages I got, so any advice would be welcomed. Sam Dupree.

Hi Sam, I've got a partial solution. I haven't used f2py yet but at least the error from your first `f2py` call seems straightforward. Near the top: Line #119 in gravity_derivs.f:" integer * 4 degree" updatevars: no name pattern found for entity='*4degree'. Skipping. This shows that the fortran code gets parsed as `(integer) (*4degree)`. That can't be right. There might be a way to tell f2py to do this right, but anyway I could make your code compile by replacing every such declaration with `integer * 4 :: degree` etc (i.e. adding double colons everywhere). Once that's fixed your first f2py call raises another error: Fatal Error: Cannot open module file ‘deriv_class.mod’ for reading at (1): No such file or directory I could generate these mod files by manually running `gfortran -c auto_deriv.f90`. After that the .mod files appear and your first `f2py` call will succed. You can now `import gravity_derivs`, but of course this will lead to an error because `auto_deriv` is not available in python. Unfortunately your _second_` f2py` call also dies on `auto_deriv.f90`, with such offending lines: In: :auto_deriv:auto_deriv.f90:ad_auxiliary get_parameters: got "invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)" on '(/((i, i=j,n), j=1,n)/)' I'm guessing that again f2py can't parse that syntax. My hunch is that if you can get f2py to work with `auto_deriv.f90` you should first run that. This should hopefully generate the .mod files after which the second call to `f2py` with `gravity_derivs.f` should work. If `f2py` doesn't generate the .mod files you could at worst run your fortran compiler yourself between the two calls to `f2py`. Cheers, András

Andras, Thank you for respond to my post. I sincerely appreciate it. Following your advice, I replaced "integer * 4" with "integer" and I was able to generate the signature files for gravity_derivs.f. The problem now is generating the signature file for auto_deriv.f90. I agree that f2py has a problem with In: :auto_deriv:auto_deriv.f90:ad_auxiliary get_parameters: got "invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)" on '(/((i,i=j,n), j=1,n)/)' I'm not sure I understand why f2py has a problem with this syntax. Is there documentation that talks to what Fortran77, Fortran 90/95 syntax f2py will and will not accept? Sam Dupree. On November/02/2020 07:22:06, Andras Deak wrote:
