Synopsis
(1) To
construct extension module sources:
f2py
[<options>] <fortran files> [[[only:]||[skip:]]
<fortran functions> ] [: <fortran files>
...]
(2) To compile
fortran files and build extension modules:
f2py -c
[<options>, <config_fc options>, <extra
options>] <fortran files>
(3) To generate
signature files:
f2py -h
<filename.pyf> ...< same options as in (1) >

... Feel free to add your own example above to help other Linux-lovers !
description
This program
generates a Python C/API file (<modulename>module.c)
that contains wrappers for given Fortran or C functions so
that they can be called from Python. With the -c
option the corresponding extension modules are built.
options
-h
<filename>
Write signatures of the fortran
routines to file <filename> and exit. You can then
edit <filename> and use it instead of <fortran
files>. If <filename>==stdout then the signatures
are printed to stdout.
<fortran
functions>
Names of fortran routines for
which Python C/API functions will be generated. Default is
all that are found in <fortran files>.
skip:
Ignore fortran functions that follow until
’:’.
only:
Use only fortran functions that follow until
’:’.
:
Get back to <fortran files> mode.
-m
<modulename>
Name of the module; f2py
generates a Python/C API file <modulename>module.c or
extension module <modulename>. Default is
´untitled´.
--[no-]lower
Do [not] lower the cases in
<fortran files>. By default, --lower is
assumed with -h key, and --no-lower
without -h key.
--build-dir
<dirname>
All f2py generated files are
created in <dirname>. Default is
tempfile.mktemp().
--overwrite-signature
Overwrite existing signature
file.
--[no-]latex-doc
Create (or not)
<modulename>module.tex. Default is
--no-latex-doc.
--short-latex
Create ’incomplete’
LaTeX document (without commands \documentclass,
\tableofcontents, and \begin{document}, \end{document}).
--[no-]rest-doc
Create (or not)
<modulename>module.rst. Default is
--no-rest-doc.
--debug-capi
Create C/API code that reports
the state of the wrappers during runtime. Useful for
debugging.
-include´<includefile>´
Add CPP #include statement to
the C/API code. <includefile> should be in the format
of either ’"filename.ext"’ or
’<filename.ext>’. As a result
<includefile> will be included just before wrapper
functions part in the C/API code. The option is depreciated,
use ’usercode’ statement in signature files
instead.
--[no-]wrap-functions
Create Fortran subroutine
wrappers to Fortran 77 functions.
--wrap-functions is default because it
ensures maximum portability/compiler independence.
--help-link
[..]
List system resources found by
system_info.py. [..] may contain a list of resources names.
See also --link-<resource> switch
below.
--quiet
Run quietly.
--verbose
Run with extra verbosity.
-v
Print f2py version ID and exit.
--include_paths
path1:path2:...
Search include files (that f2py
will scan) from the given directories.
config fc options
The following options are effective only when -c switch is used.
--help-compiler
List available Fortran compilers [DEPRECIATED].
--fcompiler=<name>
Specify Fortran compiler type by vendor.
--compiler=<name>
Specify C compiler type (as defined by distutils)
--fcompiler-exec=<path>
Specify the path to F77 compiler [DEPRECIATED].
--f90compiler-exec=<path>
Specify the path to F90 compiler [DEPRECIATED].
--help-fcompiler
List available Fortran compilers and exit.
--f77exec=<path>
Specify the path to F77 compiler.
--f90exec=<path>
Specify the path to F90 compiler.
--f77flags="..."
Specify F77 compiler flags.
--f90flags="..."
Specify F90 compiler flags.
--opt="..."
Specify optimization flags.
--arch="..."
Specify architecture specific optimization flags.
--noopt
Compile without optimization.
--noarch
Compile without arch-dependent optimization.
--debug
Compile with debugging information.

extra options
The following options are effective only when -c switch is used.
--link-<resource>
Link extension module with <resource> as defined by
numpy_distutils/system_info.py. E.g. to link with optimized
LAPACK libraries (vecLib on MacOSX, ATLAS elsewhere), use
--link-lapack_opt. See also --help-link switch.
-L/path/to/lib/ -l<libname>
-D<define> -U<name> -I/path/to/include/
<filename>.o <filename>.so <filename>.a
-DPREPEND_FORTRAN -DNO_APPEND_FORTRAN -DUPPERCASE_FORTRAN
-DUNDERSCORE_G77
Macros that might be required with non-gcc Fortran compilers.
-DF2PY_REPORT_ATEXIT
To print out a performance report of F2PY interface when python
exits. Available for Linux.
-DF2PY_REPORT_ON_ARRAY_COPY=<int>
To send a message to stderr whenever F2PY interface makes a copy
of an array. Integer <int> sets the threshold for array
sizes when a message should be shown.
