title: call functions from a shared fortran library in python
body: <p>I would like to call some functions from a Fortran shared library in Python. I have found some links on the net and read them, and according what I found, I should do</p>
  
  <pre><code>libadd = cdll.LoadLibrary('./libbin.so') 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to load the shared object. However, this shared object includes some symbols from another shared library. I read the help of cdll however it does not seem possible to load several shared object files at the same time. How may I call functions from this Fortran library, which is most probably compiled by the Intel Fortran compiler?</p>
