[petsc-dev] error with build

[Barry Smith]

   There (sadly) is not completely automatic way to do this. Cd to $PETSC_DIR/externalpackages; remove any petsc4py* directories from there; clone petsc4py-dev into that directory. cd back to $PETSC_DIR; now run ./configure --download-petsc4py

   It will not go and get a copy of petsc4py since the petsc4py-dev directory exists, rather it will use the one you have put there (by your clone).

   Note that petsc4py-dev may not always have been updated to the latest changes to petsc-dev, if you get errors in the build report them to petsc-maint at mcs.anl.gov and we'll update the petsc4py-dev; note that after an update of petsc4py-dev you should cd externalpackages/petsc4py-dev and hg pull; hg update to get the latest.

  Yes, someone should add proper support for ./configure to handle hg repositories from petsc-dev and do the pulls and updates automatically but that code has not been written, hence the manual process.
