.. topic:: Abstract
This document describes :mod:`petsc4py`, a Python_ wrapper to the PETSc_
libraries.
PETSc_ (the Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific
Computation) is a suite of data structures and routines for the
scalable (parallel) solution of scientific applications modeled by
partial differential equations. It employs the MPI_ standard for
all message-passing communication.
This package provides an important subset of PETSc functionalities
and uses NumPy_ to efficiently manage input and output of array data.
A *good friend* of petsc4py is:
* mpi4py_: Python bindings for MPI_,
the *Message Passing Interface*.
Other projects depend on petsc4py:
* slepc4py_: Python bindings for SLEPc_,
the *Scalable Library for Eigenvalue Problem Computations*.
