Re: [f2py] f2py and lapack DLARUV

Just a thought, maybe I'm missing something, but: can't you simply use scipy? It contains thin wrappers for alot of LAPACK calls in:
from scipy.linalg.lapack import flapack as lapack
Now, I think this will give you a list of routine names that are wrapped:
for routine in dir(lapack):
	print routine

There is probably some "bloat" by using all of scipy, but it will save you a lot of compiling. Also, you could look at how scipy wraps lapack, and learn from that.

YMMV
