Comment #3 on issue 1487 by ryanlists: fcode: print sympy expressions as  
Fortran code
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1487

I think this is a great feature.  I used something similar with Maxima and  
f2py for
my Ph.D. thesis.  It was really great.  This looks like a good start.

I don't see any attempt at line wrapping.  That is a big deal with long  
FORTRAN
expressions.  Should there also be the required 7 spaces inserted at the  
beginning of
the output, or is the intention not to have executable FORTRAN output  
generated?
Maybe this could be an optional feature, but it was in the Maxima FORTRAN  
function I
used and it was really nice.

Another really minor thing, this part of the fcode.py docstring messed up  
emacs
python-mode:

Most of the code below is based on the "Professional Programmer's Guide to
Fortran77" by Clive G. Page:

I understand that it isn't necessary to escape the single quote as far as  
Python is
concerned, but python-mode isn't quite as smart.  So
Most of the code below is based on the "Professional Programmer\'s Guide to
Fortran77" by Clive G. Page:
would be nice for emacs python-mode users.
