Comment(by josdekloe):

 Sorry, the wikiformatting seems to have garbled my previous message. Here
 is a next try:

 The same problem still is present in f2py version 1.6.2 as currently
 shipped by Fedora17.
 After some debugging I found that the code

 {{{
     exec('c = isintent_%s(var)' % intent)

 }}}
 in file:
   /usr/lib64/python3.2/site-packages/numpy/f2py/crackfortran.py
 does not work as intended on my python3 version (version  3.2.3).

 In function true_intent_list this code:


 {{{
         try:
             exec('c = isintent_%s(var)' % intent)
         except NameError:
             c = 0


 }}}
 does not always work as intended, and on my system it does not define a
 variable 'c' in the local scope of this function.
 In stead the correct code should be:


 {{{
         try:
             ldict = locals()
             exec('c = isintent_%s(var)' % intent,globals(),ldict)
             c = ldict['c']
         except NameError:
             c = 0


 }}}
 This type of problem has been reported and discussed before, for example

 locals
