Hello NG, I am using the latest Numpy release 1.0rc2 which includes F2PY. I have switched to Python 2.5 so this is the only alternative I have (IIUC). With Python 2.4, I was able to build a very simple fortran extension without problems.
My extension contains 4 subroutines that scan a file and do simple operations. Now, attempting to run the second subroutine as: dprops, dwgnames, dunits = readsmspec.readsmspec(smspec, dimens) Prompt a ValueError from Python: File "D:\MyProjects\Carolina\MainPanel.py", line 894, in ReadSMSPECFile dprops, dwgnames, dunits = readsmspec.readsmspec(smspec, dimens) ValueError: data type must provide an itemsize ?!? I have never seen anything like that and googling around didn't give me any answer. The function accepts two inputs: - smspec: a filename, maximum 1000 characters long - dimens: an integer and returns 3 array of chars, each of them with size (8, dimens). Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong? Thank you very much for every pointer. Andrea.
