If the whole point of building the executable is to run it in order to
parse the output, then you can start with this:

$ cat setup.py
from numpy.distutils.core import setup
from numpy.distutils.command.config import config as config_orig

helloworld = """
program hello
    write(*,*) "Hello, World!"
end program hello
"""

class config(config_orig):
    def run(self):
        self.try_run(helloworld, lang='f90')

setup(name="ConfigF90",
      cmdclass={'config' : config})


$ python setup.py config
<... lots of ouput ...>
gfortran:f90: _configtest.f90
/usr/bin/gfortran -Wall -Wall _configtest.o -lgfortran -o _configtest
_configtest
 Hello, World!
success!
removing: _configtest.f90 _configtest.o _configtest


In order to actually capture the ouput, you will have to implement
method spawn() in class config(), likely using subprocess module (or
older os.* APIS's for max backward compatibility)

Hope this helps,
