invalid syntax error in using f2py

[asds]

I am trying to compile this fairly simple  fortran code into python module.

But getting invalid syntax error from python shell

>>import numpy.f2py as f2py
>>f2py -c -m foo foo.f90 

        File "<stdin>", line 1 

        f2py -c -m foo foo.f90
                          ^
       SyntaxError: invalid syntax

file --------foo.f90

subroutine foo (a)
    implicit none
 
    integer, intent(in) :: a
    print*, "Hello from Fortran!"
    print*, "a=",a
end subroutine foo

 

I'm on linux with python 3.4 installed from anaconda distribution.

what i'm doing wrong here?

f2py command goes on the command line, not in python shell.  You'll then be importing foo from the python shell.

Finally, I'm able to compile my fortran program to python module.Thanks for help.
