There are two Fortran implementations of the TLS algorithm already
available via
http://www.netlib.org/vanhuffel/      
.
Moreover there is a tool called f2py that generates Python C/API modules
for wrapping Fortran 77/90/95 codes to Python.

Unfortunately I am not very familar with this tool.
 
Therefore I need some advice for this.

Thanks in advance
