Hey Pearu, Sorry about messing up distutils; I have been warned that it can be hairy.
Anyway for those who haven't been following it, last November I emailed the list a couple of times (obviously I should have checked with Pearu and could have avoided this) asking if I could remove some code from numpy/distutils/ccompiler.py. Basically, we had our own version of distutils.util.split_quoted() in numpy/distutils/ccompiler.py, which made a minor change to distutils default behavior (the fix keeps quotes when a quoted word doesn't contain whitespace). I created a ticket and ended up removing the code: http://scipy.org/scipy/numpy/ticket/619 Now it appears that this actually is breaking f2py on Windows: http://scipy.org/scipy/numpy/ticket/723 Since my change may have broken something, I went ahead and reverted it in r5054: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/changeset/5054 Hopefully, this will fix the problem with gfortran not being found and won't introduce new problems. Now we have come full circle and are back where we were when I originally brought this issue to the list. Our version of split_quoted() was added several years ago and should I think be submitted for inclusion upstream. I know that distutils isn't exactly being maintained, but--Pearu--is it possible that we could get this upstream?
