Deal All, I have been using happily for a quite a while the ODE solver in SciPy (I refer to integrate.odeint). I wonder now if there is any PDE solver available for Python (better if it was incorporated into SciPy).

Just a note to say that fipy is actively supported and developed. Certainly fipy is too large and has to many nonstandard data types to be included under the scipy umbrella. Possibly a more light weight PDE solver could be included for structured grids and standard terms. There is also a package called OOF that uses python. See <http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/oof/>

After a bit of online search, the best I could find under the SciPy umbrella was fipy:

Is that all? I am mainly interested in population balance equations for aerosol science applications. Any suggestion here is really welcome.
