It exposes a subset of CUPTI's C Activity and Callback APIs, allowing you to instrument GPU kernels, memory operations, and other CUDA events at runtime.\n\nThe package is tightly coupled to NVIDIA's CUDA ecosystem: it requires the nvidia-cuda-cupti system library, cuda-bindings for low-level GPU interaction, cuda-pathfinder for locating CUDA installations, numpy for array handling, and pyelftools for binary introspection. It ships as precompiled wheels for Linux x86_64 and aarch64 on Python 3.10 through 3.14, making installation straightforward on supported platforms but impossible elsewhere.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are profiling or tracing CUDA Python applications on Linux and accept NVIDIA's proprietary license terms. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and fills a gap in GPU observability for Python. No, if you need cross-platform support, open-source licensing, or are developing competing GPU profiling tools\u2014the EULA explicitly forbids the latter."},"id":"cupti-python","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cupti-python","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cupti-python.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cupti-python/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"cupti-python","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"NVIDIA CUPTI Python Library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":599662,"position":5825,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"13.3.1"}
