Hi,
1, 2, 3 are integer literals.
1.0, 3.0e2, -42.0 are real (float) literals
'hello world' is a string literal.
As far as I remember, f2py requires a literal variable for the kind.
The solution I have landed on is to write a pure fortran module (using int8, or
whatever), and then wrap this module either with an f2py compatible fortran
module or an interface file.
If you want to know what int8 corresponds to, run the following (pure fortran)
program through your compiler of choice:
program kind_values
use iso_fortran_env
implicit none
print *, 'int8 kind value:', int8
print *, 'int16 kind value:', int16
end program kind_values
