Hi Ondrej, I tried out petsc4py, i could not find any documentation. I used alot of time just trying to get it to work. And without documentation, i tried to guess, and finally managed to construct a Mat object. It seems that petsc4py is currently in an experimental version.
You might also want to have a look at PyPetsc: https://elefant.developer.nicta.com.au/documentation/userguide/PyPetscManual.pdf and https://elefant.developer.nicta.com.au/developer/designdocs/PyPetscDesignRef.pdf I have not tried the PyPetsc, but at least there is documentation.
