+My Setup:
+
+For Python/Fortran development, I run Windows 2000 and use the mingw32
+(www.mingw.org) set of gcc/g77 compilers and tools (gcc 2.95.2) to build python
+extensions. I'll also ocassionally use MSVC for extension development, but
+rarely on projects that include Fortran code. This short HOWTO describes how
+I use f2py in the Windows environment. Pretty much everything is done from
+a CMD (DOS) prompt, so you'll need to be familiar with using shell commands.
+
+Installing f2py:
+
+Before installing f2py, you'll need to install python. I use python2.1 (maybe
+python2.2 will be out by the time you read this). Any version of Python beyond
+version 1.52 should be fine. See www.python.org for info on installing Python.
+
+You'll also need Numeric which is available at
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/. The latest version is 20.3.
+
+Since Pearu has moved to a setup.py script, installation is pretty easy. You
+can download f2py from http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/f2py2e/. The latest public
+release is http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/f2py2e/rel-3.x/f2py-3.latest.tgz. Even
+though this is a .tgz file instead of a .zip file, most standard compression
+utilities such as WinZip (www.winzip.com) handle unpacking .tgz files
+automatically. Here are the download steps:
+
+ 1. Download the latest version of f2py and save it to disk.
+
+ 2. Use WinZip or some other tool to open the "f2py.xxx.tgz" file.
+ a. When WinZip says archive contains one file, "f2py.xxx.tar"
+ and ask if it should open it, respond with "yes".
+ b. Extract (use the extract button at the top) all the files
+ in the archive into a file. I'll use c:\f2py2e
+
+ 3. Open a cmd prompt by clicking start->run and typing "cmd.exe".
+ Now type the following commands.
+
+ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32> cd c:\f2py2e
+ C:\F2PY2E> python setup.py install
+
+ This will install f2py in the c:\python21\f2py2e directory. It
+ also copies a few scripts into the c:\python21\Scripts directory.
+ Thats all there is to installing f2py. Now lets set up the environment
+ so that f2py is easy to use.
+
+ 4. You need to set up a couple of environement variables. The path
+ "c:\python21\Scripts" needs to be added to your path variables.
+ To do this, go to the enviroment variables settings page. This is
+ where it is on windows 2000:
+
+ Desktop->(right click)My Computer->Properties->Advanced->
+ Environment Variables
+
+ a. Add "c:\python21\Scripts" to the end of the Path variable.
+ b. If it isn't already there, add ".py" to the PATHEXT variable.
+ This tells the OS to execute f2py.py even when just "f2py" is
+ typed at a command prompt.
+
+ 5. Well, there actually isn't anything to be done here. The Python
+ installation should have taken care of associating .py files with
+ Python for execution, so you shouldn't have to do anything to
+ registry settings.
+
+To test your installation, open a new cmd prompt, and type the following:
+
+ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32> f2py
+ Usage:
+ f2py [<options>] <fortran files> [[[only:]||[skip:]] \
+ <fortran functions> ] \
+ [: <fortran files> ...]
+ ...
+
+This prints out the usage information for f2py. If it doesn't, there is
+something wrong with the installation.
+
+Testing:
+The f2py test scripts are kinda Unix-centric, so they don't work under windows.
+
+XXX include test script XXX.
+
+Compiler and setup.py issues:
