There isn't currently, but it's not hard to patch in. Add a handle_int (or some such) function here: https://github.com/inducer/pycuda/blob/0797e9390c8c85034cf71ccc46f54fa158da92c4/src/cpp/cuda.hpp#L1060 that returns the handle pointer cast to an integer. Realize that you just assumed part of the responsibility for management of the lifetime of the handle. Wrap you new handle_int here: https://github.com/inducer/pycuda/blob/master/src/wrapper/wrap_cudadrv.cpp#L1422 Leave handle_int undocumented. Submit a pull request.
