Other (really nice!) change I've noticed is that now we can call {Vec|Mat}Create() and next {Vec|Mat}SetType() and it works!
However, see this. In [1]: from petsc4py import PETSc In [2]: x = PETSc.Vec().create() In [3]: x.setType('seq') In [4]: print x.getType() None In [5]: A = PETSc.Mat().create() In [6]: A.setType('seqaij') In [7]: print A.getType() None Internally, the "type_name" field is never set, it still is NULL (then petsc4y returns None). The problem is that forcing the "type_name" to be set will be really dangerous (rmember PetscValidType macro).
