Arch Linux User Repository

I updated this to the 11.5.3 version which is the last revision under the name pynvml in case anyone needs it but for anyone else please be aware that this package has been superseded by https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-nvidia-ml-py which is the current project name so that will be newer than this! It's drop in compatible, still imports under pynvml so if you don't specifically need this one then that's probably the better choice! Why they changed the name is beyond me but the notable presence of "nvidia" in the new package name is my suspicion.

Currently broken. Works just fine if I change the PKGBUILD to pull the new 11.5.3 version and set the sha sum to SKIP though.

I fixed the build for the old version (the 11.5) by changing for python 12.3 a few lines:

SafeConfigParser becomes ConfigParser
readfp becomes read_file

and it works, but it is older code, from 2023. the new code is from this week https://pypi.org/project/nvidia-ml-py/

Build also fails for me.

For those wondering if this is the right package for you, it is the same as the PyPI package pynvml, and allows atopgpud.service in the community/atop package to capture NVIDIA GPU metrics. (The atop package has a virtual optional dependency to this package.)
