Looks like what you want is either fastcopyandtranspose or the order flag.
In [56]:fastCopyAndTranspose(a).flags
Out[56]:
CONTIGUOUS : True
FORTRAN : False
OWNDATA : True
WRITEABLE : True
ALIGNED : True
UPDATEIFCOPY : False
which is a (n,m) array in c order, i.e., an (m,n) array in fortran order. Or
In [57]:array(a, order='F').flags
Out[57]:
CONTIGUOUS : False
FORTRAN : True
OWNDATA : True
WRITEABLE : True
ALIGNED : True
UPDATEIFCOPY : False
which is a (m,n) array in fortran order.
f2py takes care of the ordering, which is one reason why it is so useful.

You've got me worried here. I have assumed that when you start with a
c-contiguous array, a, with say, a.shape = (m,n), if you use the
transpose as an argument to a fortran routine which requires an mxn
size array, then no copying is required.
This seems to work for me -- the transpose *does* have fortran order.
Nope. The result is an (n,m) array in fortran order, not an (m,n) array in fortran order.

Also, in f2py, if I use -DF2PY_REPORT_ON_ARRAY_COPY=1 I receive no
alert of any copy.
f2py takes care of the ordering, which is one reason why it is so useful.
