[petsc-users] petsc4py - Convert c example code to Python

[Smith, Barry F.]

 You are in a very lucky position in terms of debugging because you have a running code you can compare with, take advantage of this fact.

   Ok, you're going to have to see when the two codes start diverging from each other. First run with 

-ts_monitor -snes_monitor -ksp_monitor 

Do the initial values for the monitor match, or do no values match? 

  Put at VecView in both codes on your initial value for x (the initial conditions for the ODE) are they the same?

  Next you should put a VecView() at the end of your IFunction routine and a MatView at the end of your IJacobian routine to make sure they are producing the same values.

 Good luck

   Barry
