Currently I am working with DD on python-pytools to allow
it to be included in Debian. python-pycuda depends on python-pytools
and (yet unpackaged) NVIDIA CUDA toolkit, so pytools need to be
in Debian before PyCUDA.

Latest versions of packages can be always found (at least until
they are in Debian) on my web page:

Ubuntu does not contain CUDA; Debian, together with NVIDIA
drivers provides libcuda1 (and libopencl1) which use
driver to execute code on GPU. As libcuda needs to be
present for PyCUDA to work, there is currently very little
chance for PyCUDA to be included in Ubuntu.

I am not sure what would happen if one would install
Debian's libcuda and packaged PyCUDA on Ubuntu.
I do not know details of packaging policies and internals
of NVIDIA drivers on Ubuntu to be able to tell for sure.

Regards.
