devel/py-pyopencl 2026.1.4 DragonFly

PyOpenCL gives you easy, Pythonic access to the OpenCL parallel computation API. What makes PyOpenCL special?

• Object cleanup tied to lifetime of objects. This idiom, often called RAII in C++, makes it much easier to write correct, leak- and crash-free code.
• Completeness. PyOpenCL puts the full power of OpenCL's API at your disposal, if you wish. Every obscure get_info() query and all CL calls are accessible.
• Automatic Error Checking. All errors are automatically translated into Python exceptions.
• Speed. PyOpenCL's base layer is written in C++, so all the niceties above are virtually free.
• Helpful Documentation.
• Liberal license. PyOpenCL is open-source under the MIT license and free for commercial, academic, and private use.
