If you don't load mpi4py then PETSc would be the only library directly
calling MPI, so all would be consistent.

Note that you can initialize PETSc on MPI_COMM_WORLD (the default) and
still create a subcommunicator for individual objects.  That is normally
recommended because the debugging and profiling tools can be more
accurate and produce cleaner output.
