Lisandro,

    We would like to help you make it possible for petsc4py to be installed by 
easyinstall and automatically install PETSc with it, thus making it trivial for 
Python users to start using petsc4py. How can we help make this happen?

    I image the petsc4py install would look for mpi4py, if it finds it then 
figure out the MPI used to build it and pass that MPi information on to PETSc's 
configure. If it does not find mpi4py then it would tell PETSc configure to not 
use MPI. If this doesn't make sense, I just made it up so I can understand it 
might not make sense, tell us how it should work.

    We would also like to add some nightly tests for petsc-dev/petsc4py-dev and 
help keep petsc4py-dev in sync with petsc-dev. Satish can you check into how 
you can add this?


   Thanks

    Barry
