[petsc-users] petsc4py, cython

[Lisandro Dalcin]

In Cython code using C types from petsc4py, you should do:

from petsc4py.PETSc cimport Vec,  PetscVec
from petsc4py.PETSc cimport Mat,  PetscMat
# etcetera

now you can "cdef"  either "PetscVec" (the low-level PETSc C type) and
"Vec" (the higher-level petsc4py Python type)

Or you can just

from petsc4py.PETSc cimport *

to get all definitions, or even

from petsc4py cimport PETSc

then use properly-namespaced definitions "PETSc.PetscVec" (C type) and
"PETSc.Vec" (Python type).
