Dear PETSc Team,

I am working with petsc4py for my model. I had some experience of using PETSc in Fortran. In Fortran, I used the following subroutines:

call DMPlexCreateNaturalVector(dm, natural, ierr)

call DMPlexNaturalToGlobalBegin(dm,natural,X,ierr)
call DMPlexNaturalToGlobalEnd(dm,natural,X,ierr)

However, I found there are no such interfaces in petsc4py. Can you advise me on how to get the global vector in natural order with DMPLEX in petsc4py?

Thanks,

Donghui
