Q: How to report bugs?
----------------------
-You can send bug reports directly to me. Please, include information
-about your platform (operating system, version) and
-compilers/linkers, e.g. the output (both stdout/stderr) of
+F2PY is part of NumPy. Report bugs on the NumPy issue tracker at
+__ https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues
+Please, include information about your platform (operating system,
+version) and compilers/linkers, e.g. the output (both stdout/stderr) of
::
- python -c 'import f2py2e.diagnose;f2py2e.diagnose.run()'
+ python -c 'import numpy.f2py.diagnose;numpy.f2py.diagnose.run()'
Feel free to add any other relevant information. However, avoid
sending the output of F2PY generated ``.pyf`` files (unless they are
manually modified) or any binary files like shared libraries or object
codes.
+N.B. You may notice that other F2PY issues are tagged 'f2py'. Only the
+admins can add tags to issues, don't waste time trying to work out how
+to tag it yourself.

While reporting bugs, you may find the following notes useful:
