Fortran 90 namelist parser

Project description

A Fortran 90 namelist parser

About f90nml

The f90nml module takes a Fortran 90 namelist file and parses it into a Python dict of namelist groups, each containing a dict of its variables. Fortran data types are converted to equivalent Python types.

Usage

To read a Fortran namelist file as a dict, use the read() method:

nml_dict = f90nml.read(nml_filename)

To output a Python dict as a Fortran namelist file, use the write() method:

f90nml.write(my_nml, output_filename)

This method will abort if the output file already exists.

Notes

The read method produces an NmlDict, which behaves as a dict with case-insensitive keys, due to the case insensitivity of Fortran. This implementation is currently not a true case-insensitive dict, and is only intended to accomodate individual references and assignments.

The following namelist features are currently not supported:

  • Index range support (v(i:j) = c)

  • Repeated indexing (v = r*c, r*)

  • Upcast vector elements if components differ (x(i) = int, x(j) = float)

  • Escape on repeated quotes ('This doesn''t parse correctly')

  • Type character resolver (x%y = c)

  • stdin/stdout support (?, ?=)
