Python is easier to get stuff done in.  My usual routine is to write it
in python and see how it goes.  If something takes too long, I write
that section in fortran, keeping python as the front-end.  

I don't do anything fancy like multi-language calls, I just write a
black-box fortran program that takes stdin, processes it, then writes to
stdout.  Then use the standard os.popen3 to communicate.
