[Baypiggies] Link Python and Fortran

[Matthew Turk]

Hi Apollo,

f2py is a good way to go, even though it has a learning curve.
Additionally, the 'fwrap' project that is coming out of Kurt Smith and
the Cython group is promising but not done yet.  Forthon is another
option.  In general, I would recommend f2py unless you need to
statically link your Python installation -- you can annotate the
fortran code and it will automatically generate the necessary support
code.

Good luck!
