I figured this out a long time (4 years) ago, but haven't thought about it for a while, so I don't really have the answer, but I can provide a little guidance. Fortran pads its output, so you just have to figure out how the padding works and how to get around it to get the information that you actually need. I suggest writing out some examples via fortran and using hexdump to view the results, then you can determine the pattern. For example, you would get something like: $ hexdump -C fort.out 0000008 0000000F 00000008 when you use fortran to write 15 as an integer. Then you can use python's binary file i/o to read in the file and extract the information that you are interested in. Hope this helps.
