Hello.
PyOpenCL packages in Debian has been moved from contrib
to main. To those less familiar with Debian taxonomy
it means that PyOpenCL is in "True Debian(TM)"
in fully supported section. It also means that it is
visible in default install - user does not need
to enable additional sections to have it available.
Debian currently contains 4 OpenCL implementations:
1. AMD
2. Beignet
3. Mesa
4. NVIDIA
so there is place to play.
More details of this change is in post:

Best regards.

Hi Tomasz,
Congratulation !!!
I knew about Nvidia, AMD and Beignet. I have unofficial debian ports of
Intel for CPU and MIC. But what about MESA ? what is the level of
performances and support ? what hardware does it run on ?
Thanks

It seems to work on AMD/ATI cards with free drivers. I haven't
tested it yet - I am using fglrx and had problems using free
drivers with APU. That's one of the reasons I was hesitating
when moving PyOpenCL to main - I could not test it on free
OpenCL implementations.
Testing Debian packages on Mesa is on my TODO list, but
I am not very eager to mess with my main machine ;-)
Best regards.

That's great news! Also, to you and everyone else who works so hard to
make OpenCL easy to install and use on Debian and its derivatives: Thank you!
