I'm glad to hear you're getting good use out of the package, and I'm also happy to hear about any issues you may be having with it--such as this one. I just tried to work the information you requested into the README file, but then I realized that this is not a good idea, for two reasons: - First, you can get this information from here: https://github.com/inducer/pycuda/blob/master/setup.py#L201 Duplicating it would run the risk of having the README version go stale/inaccurate/incomplete. - Second, each of these is free to have recursive dependencies. Including them would run an even bigger risk of going out of date. I've therefore decided against doing this. Btw, I've cc'd the list. Hope you don't mind.
