[petsc-dev] getting norm type or pc side after resetting ksp type

[Lisandro Dalcin]

Please look at the following example. The error is really unexpected
for me, but I'm not sure how to fix it:

In [1]: from petsc4py import PETSc

In [2]: ksp = PETSc.KSP().create()

In [3]: ksp.setType('gmres')

In [4]: ksp.getNormType()
Out[4]: 1

In [5]: ksp.setType('fgmres') # changing ksp type

In [6]: ksp.getNormType()
