The project appears to be pure python. So there is no compilation required to install it. As a python package, the installation procedure consists in making the sources available to your python interpreter. This can be done either by appending yourself the path or by using an installation script (called setup.py) provided by the package maintainer.

There is no setup.pyso you cannot install it the usual way. If you want to be able to access the class from everywhere, you have to either append your path or create a setup file.

export PYTHONPATH=path_to_code:$PYTHONPATH

From there, follow the example in the test directory:

from fortran_tools import Fixed2Free
import os

path = '.'
filename = 'myfile_without_extension'

input_path = os.path.join(path, 'input', filename + '.f')
output_path = os.path.join(path, 'output', filename + '.f90')

Fixed2Free.from_argv(['', input_path, output_path, '--style'])

with input_path the path to the file you want to convert and output_path the path of the converted file.
