It handles struct allocation, pointer passing, and converts NVML error codes into Python exceptions, making GPU queries and monitoring accessible from Python without direct C bindings.\n\nThe library exposes the NVML API surface\u2014driver version queries, device enumeration, memory info, temperature, power state, and other hardware metrics. It converts C output parameters into Python return values and C structs into Python objects with named attributes. Since its first release in 2012, it has tracked NVML versions through version 13.580, supporting both Python 2 and Python 3 syntax.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a stable, dependency-free wrapper to a critical system library with no known vulnerabilities, active maintenance, and broad adoption (top 5000 PyPI packages). Install it if you need to query or monitor NVIDIA GPUs from Python; the only blocker is requiring NVIDIA drivers and NVML on the target system."},"id":"nvidia-ml-py","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/nvidia-ml-py","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/nvidia-ml-py.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/nvidia-ml-py/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"nvidia-ml-py","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python Bindings for the NVIDIA Management Library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":21045134,"position":1015,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"13.610.43"}
