The PyCuda Package from Andreas Kloeckner (a useful GPU Programming tool
for NVIDIA Graphic cards). See http://mathema.tician.de/software/pycuda
for more Info
The package can be downloaded from: http://code.google.com/p/spkg-
upload/downloads/detail?name=pycuda-0.94.1.spkg (direct link: http://spkg-
upload.googlecode.com/files/pycuda-0.94.1.spkg)
Installation Notes:
* Install CUDA on your machine:
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda_3_2_toolkit_rc.html
* set the SAGE_CUDA variable in your shell with:
{{{ export SAGE_CUDA =/where/you/have/installed/cuda}}}
(i set in .bashrc)
* install package. (Download it from the links above)
* IMPORTANT: After installation the setuptools package has to be
reinstalled!! Because the installer uses the distributed egg package. This
messes somehow with setuptools and will be removed after the installation.
But this destroys setup tools!
* enjoy!
'''UPDATE:''' Now there is a new version of PyCuda which requires
setuptools-0.6c11 (see #10361), where the reinstallment of setuptools is
not needed any more. The download link is:

Comment:
I uploaded a package with the new PyCuda version, which holds the change
with respect to the update.
There was only one small problem, which could be fixed rather easily: the
PyCuda folder contained a folder named src, which leaded to name problems
during the installation. Creation of some symbolic links did the trick.
Here thelink of the new package: http://spkg-
