[petsc-users] petsc4py: Passing command line switches

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I'm using the petsc4py. It works fine after some hurdling with missing documentation. (were not able to find API doc anywhere, I generated it myself now).

I try to use the switches like -ksp_monitor like that:

import petsc4py
from petsc4py import PETSc

petsc4py.init(sys.argv)

but no reaction when calling my script like that:

python prbf.py -ksp_monitor

What am I doing wrong? I also tried calling init before importing PETSc but no changes.

Thanks,
Florian
