Comment 2 for bug 381005

Still having problems with f2py and python 2.6.2.
My Steps:
1. Installed f2py with # aptitude install f2py
1.5 tested f2py
abalter@scibox:~/Fortran$ f2py
Usage:

1) To construct extension module sources:

      f2py [<options>] <fortran files> [[[only:]||[skip:]] \
                                        <fortran functions> ] \
                                       [: <fortran files> ...]

2) To compile fortran files and build extension modules:

      f2py -c [<options>, <build_flib options>, <extra options>] <fortran files>

3) To generate signature files:

      f2py -h <filename.pyf> ...< same options as in (1) >

Description: This program generates a Python C/API file (<modulename>module.c)
             that contains wrappers for given fortran functions so that they
             can be called from Python. With the -c option the corresponding
             extension modules are built.

Options:

  --2d-numpy Use numpy.f2py tool with NumPy support. [DEFAULT]
  --2d-numeric Use f2py2e tool with Numeric support.
  --2d-numarray Use f2py2e tool with Numarray support.
  --g3-numpy Use 3rd generation f2py from the separate f2py package.
                   [NOT AVAILABLE YET]

  -h <filename> Write signatures of the fortran routines to file <filename>
                   and exit. You can then edit <filename> and use it instead
                   of <fortran files>. If <filename>==stdout then the
                   signatures are printed to stdout.
  <fortran functions> Names of fortran routines for which Python C/API
                   functions will be generated. Default is all that are found
                   in <fortran files>.
  <fortran files> Paths to fortran/signature files that will be scanned for
                   <fortran functions> in order to determine their signatures.
  skip: Ignore fortran functions that follow until `:'.
  only: Use only fortran functions that follow until `:'.
  : Get back to <fortran files> mode.

  -m <modulename> Name of the module; f2py generates a Python/C API
                   file <modulename>module.c or extension module <modulename>.
                   Default is 'untitled'.

  --[no-]lower Do [not] lower the cases in <fortran files>. By default,
                   --lower is assumed with -h key, and --no-lower without -h key.

  --build-dir <dirname> All f2py generated files are created in <dirname>.
                   Default is tempfile.mktemp().

  --overwrite-signature Overwrite existing signature file.

  --[no-]latex-doc Create (or not) <modulename>module.tex.
                   Default is --no-latex-doc.
  --short-latex Create 'incomplete' LaTeX document (without commands
                   \documentclass, \tableofcontents, and \begin{document},
                   \end{document}).

  --[no-]rest-doc Create (or not) <modulename>module.rst.
                   Default is --no-rest-doc.

  --debug-capi Create C/API code that reports the state of the wrappers
                   during runtime. Useful for debugging.

  --[no-]wrap-functions Create Fortran subroutine wrappers to Fortran 77
                   functions. --wrap-functions is default because it ensures
                   maximum portability/compiler independence.

  --include_paths <path1>:<path2>:... Search include files from the given
                   directories.

  --help-link [..] List system resources found by system_info.py. See also
                   --link-<resource> switch below. [..] is optional list
                   of resources names. E.g. try 'f2py --help-link lapack_opt'.

  --quiet Run quietly.
  --verbose Run with extra verbosity.
  -v Print f2py version ID and exit.

numpy.distutils options (only effective with -c):

  --fcompiler= Specify Fortran compiler type by vendor
  --compiler= Specify C compiler type (as defined by distutils)

  --help-fcompiler List available Fortran compilers and exit
  --f77exec= Specify the path to F77 compiler
  --f90exec= Specify the path to F90 compiler
  --f77flags= Specify F77 compiler flags
  --f90flags= Specify F90 compiler flags
  --opt= Specify optimization flags
  --arch= Specify architecture specific optimization flags
  --noopt Compile without optimization
  --noarch Compile without arch-dependent optimization
  --debug Compile with debugging information

Extra options (only effective with -c):

  --link-<resource> Link extension module with <resource> as defined
                       by numpy.distutils/system_info.py. E.g. to link
                       with optimized LAPACK libraries (vecLib on MacOSX,
                       ATLAS elsewhere), use --link-lapack_opt.
                       See also --help-link switch.

  -L/path/to/lib/ -l<libname>
  -D<define> -U<name>
  -I/path/to/include/
  <filename>.o <filename>.so <filename>.a

  Using the following macros may be required with non-gcc Fortran
  compilers:
    -DPREPEND_FORTRAN -DNO_APPEND_FORTRAN -DUPPERCASE_FORTRAN
    -DUNDERSCORE_G77

  When using -DF2PY_REPORT_ATEXIT, a performance report of F2PY
  interface is printed out at exit (platforms: Linux).

  When using -DF2PY_REPORT_ON_ARRAY_COPY=<int>, a message is
  sent to stderr whenever F2PY interface makes a copy of an
  array. Integer <int> sets the threshold for array sizes when
  a message should be shown.

2. Created hello.f
___
program hello
   print *,"Hello World!"
end program hello

3. $ python hello.f -m hello
4. >> import hello
>>> hello
<module 'hello' from 'hello.so'>
>>> dir(hello)
['__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '__version__']

5. So I can't run hello.hello()

6. Created zadd.f
