Rectangle/brick elements

Is there a way to use the python interface for FEniCS with quad/brick (instead of triangles) elements?

You can create a mesh, but at present you cannot assemble anything on it.

Thanks, do you know if there are any thoughts about rectangle/brick finite elements?

This needs to be addressed at the form compiler level, so you might want to raise an issue on the bitbucket pages for ffc.
