[Numpy-discussion] Fortran & distutils on Mac OS X -- interactive mode?

[Erik Sherwood]

Hi all,

I am using scipy-0.5.1 and numpy-1.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (MacBook Pro  
late 2006) built with fink. I have code (I'm developing for the  
PyDSTool project) which uses numpy.distutils to build a .so file  
which is then loaded into python. When only C compilers are needed,  
everything runs as I expect, but when I need to build with fortran  
compilers (g95 in this case; there is no g77 built for the Intel macs  
yet), I get sent to interactive mode:

========================================================================
Starting interactive session
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tasks:
   i       - Show python/platform/machine information
   ie      - Show environment information
   c       - Show C compilers information
   c<name> - Set C compiler (current:None)
   f       - Show Fortran compilers information
   f<name> - Set Fortran compiler (current:None)
   e       - Edit proposed sys.argv[1:].

Task aliases:
   0         - Configure
   1         - Build
   2         - Install
   2<prefix> - Install with prefix.
   3         - Inplace build
   4         - Source distribution
   5         - Binary distribution

Proposed sys.argv = ['SLIP_2D_pdc.py']

Choose a task (^D to quit, Enter to continue with setup):

I can just hit enter and things run as I like them to, more or less:

The code that uses distutils looks like this (radau5 refers to the  
fortran code I'm compiling):

if not (all([os.path.isfile(os.path.join(self._compilation_tempdir,
                    sf)) for sf in ['radau5'+self._vf_filename_ext 
+'_wrap.o',
                                    'lib_radau5'+self._vf_filename_ext 
+'.a',
                                    'radau5'+self._vf_filename_ext 
+'.py',
                                    '_radau5'+self._vf_filename_ext 
+'.def']])):
             modfilelist = [swigfile]
         else:
             modfilelist = []
         modfilelist.extend([radwrapfile, vffile, integfile, eventfile,
                            interfacefile, memfile])
         modfilelist.extend(libsources)
         fortfilelist=[radfile, lapackcfile, dc_lapackfile, lapackfile]
         # would like temp dir to be '/' but scipy_distutils cannot  
build the
         # radau library in that configuration (unlike Dopri's  
identical use of
         # regular python distutils, which cannot deal with Fortran  
sources).
         script_args = ['-q', 'build', '--build-lib='+os.getcwd(),
                  '-t'+self._compilation_tempdir,
                  '--build-base='+self._compilation_tempdir,
                  '--build-platlib='+os.getcwd(), '--build- 
purelib='+os.getcwd()]
         if self._compiler != '':
             script_args.append('-c'+str(self._compiler))
         # include directories for libraries
	narraydir = npy.get_numarray_include()
	npydir = npy.get_include()
         incdirs = [npydir, narraydir, os.getcwd(),  
self._compilation_tempdir,
                    self._compilation_sourcedir]
         incdirs.extend(libdirs)
         radlibdirs = [self._compilation_sourcedir,  
self._compilation_tempdir,
                        os.getcwd()]
         # Use distutils to perform the compilation of the selected  
files
        try:
             distobject = setup(name = "Radau5 integrator",
                   author = "PyDSTool (automatically generated)",
                   script_args = script_args,
                   ext_modules = [Extension 
("_radau5"+self._vf_filename_ext,
                                  sources=modfilelist,
                                  include_dirs=incdirs,
                                  library_dirs=radlibdirs+['./'],
                                  libraries=['radau5'],
                                  extra_compile_args=['-w', '- 
D__RADAU__'],
                                  extra_link_args=['-w'])],
                   	libraries=[('radau5',{'sources': fortfilelist,
                               'library_dirs': radlibdirs+['./']})])


I would like to be able to skip the interactive mode -- how should I  
invoke distutils to skip all of the interaction and go straight to  
compilation?

Thanks,
