cuda-bindings 13.X.Y Release notes#

Released on TBD

Highlights#

  • Migrated wheel dependencies from individual NVIDIA packages to the cuda-toolkit metapackage for improved dependency resolution and version constraints.

  • Automatic CUDA library path detection based on CUDA_HOME, eliminating the need to manually set LIBRARY_PATH environment variables for installation.

  • The [all] optional dependencies now use cuda-toolkit with appropriate extras instead of individual packages. The NVCC compiler is no longer automatically installed with pip install cuda-python[all] as it was previously included only to access the NVVM library, which now has its own dedicated wheel. Users who need the NVCC compiler should explicitly install it with pip install cuda-toolkit[nvcc]==X.Y with the appropriate version for their needs.

Known issues#

  • Updating from older versions (v12.6.2.post1 and below) via pip install -U cuda-python might not work. Please do a clean re-installation by uninstalling pip uninstall -y cuda-python followed by installing pip install cuda-python.
