[petsc-users] Array of SNES's

[Timothée Nicolas]

(Sorry I forgot to answer all in the first message)

Well I have never used Petsc in python, but in FORTRAN, it seems to work
like any array. So why not use a python list for instance ? You would start
with SNESs = [], create a new snes and append it to the list with
SNESs.append(snes). Then you can use your list. That would not do it ?
