[...] I hope you posted this on the VTK list with a CC to Prabhu as well... The hopes of a positive reply there are, I suspect, a fair bit higher. The scipy list would be a good idea, too. I don't have an answer, but I recall seeing something about a finite volume solver implemented in python recently. Interestingly, a quick googling on those terms turned this up: http://math.nist.gov/mcsd/Seminars/2005/2005-03-01-wheeler.html Note the March 1 Boulder meeting :) (the coordinated times suggest a videoconference of sorts). I'll most likely attend the talk, let me know if you still don't have a solution by then and I can try to talk to Wheeler (if he's physically here instead of in Gaithesburg). For all we know, their code might provide an implementation, have a look (I'd be quite interested in your opinion if you've already looked at it).
