Forthon generates links between Fortran95 and Python. Python is a high

level, object oriented, interactive and scripting language that allows

a flexible and versatile interface to computational tools. The Forthon

package generates the necessary wrapping code which allows access to

the Fortran database and to the Fortran subroutines and

functions. This provides a development package where the

computationally intensive parts of a code can be written in efficient

Fortran, and the high level controlling code can be written in the

much more versatile Python language.
