I'm writing a matrix to file from my fortran code (that uses petsc-3.19.4) with -mat_view binary. Then, I'm trying to load this mat into python (that uses petsc-3.21.0). This works fine using single or multiple procs when the marix was written using a single proc (attached file a_mat_np_1.dat). However, when the matrix was written using mulitple procs (attached file a_mat_n_2.dat) I get the error below. Is this supposed to work? If so, what I'm I doing wrong?
