I figured--I recently gave a tutorial on PyOpenCL at SciPy'10 [1], and 'please get rid of @$...@#%@!! boost' was a rather frequent complaint. So I got to work, and it turned out that shipping the required part of Boost is a pretty reasonable proposition--with the shipped boost bits, the binary image only grows from 1 meg to 1.4 megs. (The source tarball does grow by about a meg, but I figure that's fine.) I committed the same boost-inclusion changes to PyCUDA about a week later.

When you say 'python setup.py install' or some such, these dependencies should be automatically installed for you, unless your system is broken, such as if you have both setuptools and distribute installed. I've tried adding a check for this type of breakage to git. > I think the new unittest2 framework would have most of the features of > py.test and would be the official one also for py 2.7 if I recall > right. I like py.test because it uses clean, uncluttered test code. Plus I use it for all my other software. I'm really not much in favor of ditching it. > Plus I think there are some bugs for the macos version. Attached a > patch from git HEAD I've committed patch 1, patch 2 is incorrect and goes back to the same Python dependency issues discussed above. The problem is that pytools used to ship with its own broken copy of Michele Simionato's decorator module. The proper way of going about this is to depend on the real thing, which became a dependency recently and should be automatically installed for you. Andreas
