Bug#620802: python-pytrilinos: fails to work

[Jacek Hoffman]

Package: python-pytrilinos
Version: 10.0.4.dfsg-1.1+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Invoking PyTrilinos by external applications causes them terminate as follows:

Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Dec 27 2010, 00:02:40)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IPython 0.10 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.

In [1]: from PyTrilinos import Epetra
In [2]: comm = Epetra.PyComm()
*** The MPI_comm_size() function was called before MPI_INIT was invoked.
*** This is disallowed by the MPI standard.
*** Your MPI job will now abort.
[rgd2:15693] Abort before MPI_INIT completed successfully; not able to
guarantee that all other processes were killed!


However beforehand wildcard import of mpi4py module helps.
(cloned from http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-exppsy/mpi4py.git and compiled with
dpkg-buildpackage -B package python-mpi4py) .
For some weird reasons it works as well as other apps :

In [1]: from mpi4py import *

In [2]: from PyTrilinos import Epetra

In [3]: comm = Epetra.PyComm()

In [4]: comm.MyPID()
Out[4]: 0
