[PyCUDA] [Hedge] On Python 2.6.3 / distribute / setuptools

[Nicolas Pinto]

Hey Andreas,

  0.93.1rc1 seems to works for me, except that I had to download a
>  distribute_setup.py file. Could you include that file in the source
>  tarball ? I think this is the usual way to work with Distribute, since

I got the same issue (distribute_setup.py not included).

 I ran the examples/demo.py with success, but the transpose demo

Same error on my mac (8600GT) but this is normal.

All the tests passed though.

Thanks for your efforts Andreas!

Best,
