Hey Lisandro, null = PETSc.Mat() works as well. -Chris On Sun, Feb 21, 2016 at 8:55 PM, Lisandro Dalcin <[email protected]> wrote:
Could you try the following?
null = PETSc.Mat() nest_list = [[null,null],[null,null]]
Anyway, I like Lawrence's patch. I'll push a fix to maint

Hey Lawrence,
I will give that a try, thanks!

Hey All,
I was wondering if anyone had used MatNest with petsc4py. I am having issues trying to create a MatNest where some of the submatrices are empty. In PETSc, I can just pass NULL in the array that I give to MatCreateNest and it works fine. However, the following code
We use it, but haven't used it with empty slots.
nest_list = [[None,None],[None,None]] nest_list[0][0] = some matrix nest_list[0][1] = some matrix nest_list[1][0] = some matrix A = PETSc.Mat().createNest(nest_list,comm=PETSc.COMM_WORLD)
fails with: File "Mat.pyx", line 445, in petsc4py.PETSc.Mat.createNest (src/petsc4py.PETSc.c:103202) TypeError: Cannot convert NoneType to petsc4py.PETSc.Mat
Is there an equivalent to NULL in petsc4py (there doesn't appear to be one)?
If all of the entries in nest_list are filled, everything works fine.
Any help would be appreciated!
Maybe a patch like this to petsc4py?

Untested.
If you want to pass null isrows and iscols as well you'll need to do a similar thing there.
Cheers,
Lawrence
