hello all, i am currently in the process of planning a piece of software to model polymerisation kinetics, and intend to use python for all the high-level stuff. the number-crunching is something i would prefer to do in fortran (which i have never used, but will learn), but i have no experience of accessing non-python code from python. i am also fairly new to programming period, and am therefore tackling a fairly serious issue reletive to my experience.
how easy is it to get fortran modules running from python? if c is easier to use in this respect, i could go in that direction instead. i realize there is a lot of material on this subject already available, but i am finding it difficult to make sense of, it's like trying to take a drink from a fire hose. any advice would be gratefully received. i will almost certainly be coding this on windows, for what it's worth. thank you, sam PS if numpy is adequate for this, i would be quite happy to use it. i got the impression it was more for matrix algebra. i will be programming a monte carlo simulation, which will need to perform a lot (a lot!) of simple operations over and over... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
