F2PY: a tool for connecting Fortran and Python programs
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we tackle the problem of connecting low-level Fortran programs to high-level Python programs. The difficulties of mixed language programming between Fortran and C are resolved in an almost compiler and platform independent way. We provide a polished software tool F2PY that can (semi-)automatically build interfaces between the Python and Fortran languages and hence almost completely hide the difficulties from the target user: a research scientist who develops a computer model using a high-performance scripting approach.

ATHLET Framework for Embedding/Extending: An Efficient, Flexible & Easy-to-use Python Framework to a Large FORTRAN Code
— Over the years, large scientific code packages have been successfully developed using FORTRAN. Today, maintaining and extending these codes is a challenging task and often forbids several possibilities. Rewriting legacy code packages is almost prohibitive due to lacking resources and inertia against changing functional codes. One way of tackling these challenges is to integrate scripting lang...
متن کاملFortran to Python Interface Generator with an Application to Aerospace Engineering
FPIG — Fortran to Python Interface Generator — is a tool for generating Python C/API extension modules that interface Fortran 77/90/95 codes with Python. This tool automates the process of interface generation by scanning the Fortran source code to determine the signatures of Fortran routines and creating a Python C/API module that contains the corresponding interface functions. FPIG also attem...
متن کاملKGEN: A Python Tool for Automated Fortran Kernel Generation and Verification
Computational kernels, which are small pieces of software that selectively capture the characteristics of larger applications, have been used successfully for decades. Kernels allow for the testing of a compiler’s ability to optimize code, performance of future hardware and reproducing compiler bugs. Unfortunately they can be rather time consuming to create and do not always accurately represen...
متن کاملInterfacing Chapel with traditional HPC programming languages
Chapel is a high-level parallel programming language that implements a partitioned global address space model (PGAS). Programs written in this programming model have traditionally been selfcontained entities written entirely in one language. While this approach enables the compiler to produce better performing code by doing whole program optimization, it also carries a risk of positioning PGAS ...
متن کاملPrograming Using High Level Design With Python and FORTRAN: A Study Case in Astrophysics
In this work, we present a short review about the high level design methodology (HLDM), that is based on the use of very high level (VHL) programing language as main, and the use of the intermediate level (IL) language only for the critical processing time. The languages used are Python (VHL) and FORTRAN (IL). Moreover, this methodology, making use of the oriented object programing (OOP), permi...
