Agreed! What would be the best name? Our package will provide non-pythonic
bindings to cuda (e.g. import cuda; cuda.cudaMemcpy( ... ) ) and some numpy
sugar (e.g. from cuda import sugar; sugar.fft.fftconvolve(ndarray_a,
ndarray_b, 'same')).

How about cuda-ctypes or ctypes-cuda? Any suggestion?

At the same time we may wait for Nvidia to unlock this Driver/Runtime issue,
so we don't need this anymore.

Best,
