I inspected a bit lineal but it also seems to be a work in progress... There is no official release and the project is currently hibernated (as i was told at their mailing list). The approach presented there is interesting, but far from the python high level programming spirit (for now). Instead, C constructs are used almost directly in python interpreter. This has one advantage that the PETSc examples can be easy translated to python. For now I found that it is quite good idea to use PETSc python bindings alongside with the parallelized python interpreter "bwpython" (http://www.cimec.org.ar/python/python.html) and python mpi bindings "mpi4py" (http://www.cimec.org.ar/python/mpi4py.html). I'm able now to run interactive sessions with PETSc and I have also access to all MPI functions which are not accessible from your PETSc bindings (AFAIK). Greetings -- Marek Wojciechowski
