simply try 

f2py -c Wright.f -m Wright

instead. Python extension modules require the an exported routine
named init<module name> (initWright in this case). But you told f2py
to generate an extension module named "so" in a package named
"Wright", so the generated function is named initso. The *.so file
cannot be renamed because then there is no more matching init function
anymore.
