Tell f2py to skip a function

Question

I am using f2py to compile a Fortran library such that I can import it in python so that I can easily create unit tests. However, one of the functions in the module uses an allocatable array to read a matrix from a file (the size of the matrix is not know until it is read). Unfortunately, f2py does not support allocatable arrays so compilation fails.

Can I tell f2py to ignore only the problematic function using a comment in the module?

I know it is possible to skip a list of functions specified at compile time, but I was hoping there was a solution that could be implemented in the source file, like the !f2py comments that modify how parameters are treated by f2py.

In the f2py docs here it says that you can skip a function by doing this:

  f2py -h <filename.pyf> <options> <fortran files>   
      [[ only: <fortran functions>  : ]                
       [ skip: <fortran functions>  : ]]...            
      [<fortran files> ...]

where skip:"" can be used to skip any function you dont want to execute.

There seems to be no (documented) way to add the only: and skip: options to distutils.
