Thanks -- OK, in that case the following regexp works for me:

     version_pattern = r'G95.*\(GCC (?P<version>.*) \(g95!\)'

But are there different versions of the version string?

Also on an unrelated f2py note: is the f2py mailing list being read by 
the f2py developers? I've posted a question (about the status of F9x 
"types") without reply...
