Ok.

Agree. If such method is exposed to DOLFIN we can then add a check for Test 
and Trial-Functions in the PyDOLFIN layer.

Agree.

Problem using sub-spaces
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681415
You received this bug notification because you are a member of DOLFIN
Team, which is subscribed to DOLFIN.

Status in DOLFIN: Confirmed

Bug description:
Hi,

I have trouble using MixedFunctionSpace. Basically I want to project a function to a subspace of a MixedFunctionSpace:

   from dolfin import *
   mesh=UnitInterval(10)
   U = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)
   V = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)
   W=U*V
   f1=Function(W.sub(0))
   f1.vector()[:]=1.0
   #f2=project(f1, V)   # This works!
   f2=project(f1, W.sub(1))  # This doesn't!


The output of that script is attached to the end of this question. Now, the confusing thing is that the projection works fine if one projects to V instead of W.sub(1), although they are mathematically the same spaces. 

I hope I haven't missed a similar question already reported. 

Best wishes,

Simon

MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD 
with errorcode 59.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.
