Hi all,
Version 2011.1 has made it out, finally! The list of changes is copied
below. This is a big release, and a huge step forward for PyOpenCL. As
time progresses, I'll try to move to smaller, more frequent
releases. Have fun, and if you find bugs in the release code, please
speak up on the list.

Hello,
Thank you! This release builds and tests well on Python 2.6 & 2.7 for
Windows.
What is the status of Python 3 support? I saw that PyPi classifies it as
Python 3 compatible but I ran into several problems:
1) Wrap_cl.cpp does not compile under Python 3.2 because
PySlice_GetIndicesEx() expects a PyObject as first argument. This seems
to fix the issue:
#if PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x03020000
if (PySlice_GetIndicesEx(reinterpret_cast<PyObject *>(slc.ptr()),
#else
if (PySlice_GetIndicesEx(reinterpret_cast<PySliceObject
*>(slc.ptr()),
#endif
2) `import pyopencl` fails on Python 3.1.4 (it works with Python 3.2):
python -c"import pyopencl"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
SyntaxError: can not delete variable 'e' referenced in nested scope
Clearly it is a bug in Python not listing file name and line number. I
traced it to this code in pyopencl/__init__.py:
except Exception as e:
from pytools import Record
class ErrorRecord(Record):
pass
raise _cl.RuntimeError(
ErrorRecord(
what=lambda : e.what + "\n\n" + (75*"="+"\n").join(
"Build on %s:\n\n%s" % (dev, log)
for dev, log in self._get_build_logs()),
code=lambda : e.code,
routine=lambda : e.routine))
Not sure what's going on. These Python bugs be related:
http://bugs.python.org/issue4613
http://bugs.python.org/issue4617
3) Demo.py and other examples (after conversion with 2to3) fail with a
TypeError:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "demo.py", line 24, in <module>
""").build()
File "X:\Python32\lib\site-packages\pyopencl\__init__.py", line 438,

checksum.update(src)
TypeError: Unicode-objects must be encoded before hashing
This is easy to fix by converting `src` to a byte string but there are
other similar issues. I'll try again later.
