PETSc4py and precompiled FEniCS distribution on mac

+7 votes

More than a question, this is a suggestion/feature request for the FEniCS developers.

I am not sure this is the right place for this type of request, but I thought other users maybe interested or vote for my question if they also believe it could be useful.

Would it be possible to enable PETSc4py to the precompiled FEniCS distributions?
Are there license issues?

The PETScMatrix interface in FEniCS only exposes few functionalities of PETSc, and some basics routines (e.g. Matrix-Matrix multiplication) are not wrapped.

The only solution I found to this issue is to write C/C++ code and use the DOLFIN JIT compiler, but this can be a little tedious...

Thanks a lot,

Umbe
