BTW, if you don't know it yet you may want to check out Pyrex (<http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex/>) which does something very similar, but in a different way.

Yes, I know about Pyrex. Pyrex defines a Python-like language from which extension modules are generated but for generating wrapper functions for Fortran or C programs, I'll need better control how the extension modules are created. This includes dealing with converters between Python-C-Fortran types, for instance. I would consider ExtGen as a tool for programs that need to generate extension modules. Pearu
