One can in fact argue that f2py, weave, and other tools (Pyrex comes to
mind) are the logical extensions of Distutils, which is part of the
Python core.
As long as they can be installed without additional requirements (in
particular requiring the compilers that they need to work), I don't
mind having them in the core distribution, though I would still have
them as logically separate packages (i.e. not scipy.core.f2py but
scipy.f2py) .
