Re: [f2py] How to pass string to F90 module data

Hi Joe,
Here's a possible solution:

module foo
   character*(50) str
   contains
     subroutine bar()
       print*, "str=",str
     end subroutine bar
end module foo
#eof foo.f90

f2py -c -m foo foo.f90

 >>> import foo
 >>> foo.foo.bar()
  str=
 >>> s = '1234567890ab'
 >>> foo.foo.str[:len(s)] = s
 >>> foo.foo.bar()
  str=1234567890ab

HTH,
Pearu
