Hi Stefano,

No I used pip to install petsc4py after I installed PETSc.  I did not see the binding folder under /src

Best regards,

Peng Sun

Hi Hong,

Thanks for the advice.  I could not install petsc4py with the --with-petsc4py=1 option, which gave me an "No rule to make target 'petsc4py-install'" error when I ran "make install".   That was why I needed to install petsc4py separately after the PETSc was installed.

After you installed PETSc, go to src/binding/petsc4py and run make install there. It will install in .local and it will be visible to python.

Is this how you installed it? 

Best regards,

Peng Sun

It seems that you installed petsc4py separately. I would suggest to add the configure option --with-petsc4py=1 and follow the instructions to set PYTHONPATH before using petsc4py.
