Compile fortran module with f2py and Python 3.6 on Windows 10

Question

I\'m trying (and failing) to compile a fortran module (specifically igrf12.f from the BGS) using f2py and Python 3.6 on Windows 10. Python was installed using Anaconda 4.4.1

Answer 1

I had the same issue. The top answer helps a lot. I would like to add some comments about the missing DLLs. A useful tool to help you find out which DLLs are missing is Process Monitor. You only need to add a filter python.exe and track which DLLs are failed to load. For me, the following ones are missing:

• libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
• libgfortran-5.dll
• libquadmath-0.dll
• libwinpthread-1.dll

I just need to copy them from the bin/ directory of my MinGW toolchain to the same directory of python.exe
