Answer 1

For f2py (from NumPy) to work, borrow both the mult.f90 and add.f90 examples from @samplebias. From a shell, compile the Python importable shared libraries:

f2py -c -m mult mult.f90
f2py -c -m add add.f90

Now use them in Python:

>>> import add
>>> import mult
>>> add.addtwo(4, 5)
9
>>> mult.multiply(4, 5)
20
