It employs the MPI_ standard for 21 all message-passing communication. 22 23 This package provides an important subset of PETSc functionalities 24 and uses NumPy_ to efficiently manage input and output of array data. 25 26 A *good friend* of petsc4py is: 27 28 * mpi4py_: Python bindings for MPI_, 29 the *Message Passing Interface*. 30 31 Other projects depend on petsc4py: 32 33 * slepc4py_: Python bindings for SLEPc_, 34 the *Scalable Library for Eigenvalue Problem Computations*. 35 36.. include:: links.txt 37 38 39.. toctree:: 40 :caption: Contents 41 :maxdepth: 2 42 43 overview 44 install 45 contributing 46 citing 47 48.. toctree:: 49 :caption: Python specifics 50 :maxdepth: 2 51 52 reference 53 petsc_python_types 54 petsc_options 55 demo/demo 56 documentation_standards 57
