fortran compiler for f2py

[Mark Brethen]

I'm trying to compile a fortran file in  python using f2py however its not finding the gcc 4.8 fortran compiler 'gfortran-mp-4.8' in /opt/local/bin. Here's the ipython console output:

build_src: building npy-pkg config files

don't know how to compile Fortran code on platform 'posix'
warning: build_ext: f77_compiler=None is not available.

building 'ts13725lib' extension
error: extension 'ts13725lib' has Fortran sources but no Fortran compiler found

According to this:

brethen-mbp:files marbre$ port info gcc_select
gcc_select @0.1_8 (sysutils)

Description:          gcc_select installs files that allow 'port select' to switch the default version of gcc. It
                      symlinks the standard compiler executables in the MacPorts prefix to the selected version.

It sounds like I need to run gcc_select to link the standard executables. How is this used?
