Python only import modules once, it reuse already imported module so the initialization procedure would only be called at the first import. That being said, i don't think pycuda should hide the cuinit call and the context creation. For that matter, the autoinit is probably the most transparent way to deal with it. cheers, J-Pascal _______________________________________________ PyCUDA mailing list pyc...@host304.hostmonster.com http://host304.hostmonster.com/mailman/listinfo/pycuda_tiker.net
