pyopencl in python 3.11 crashes at initialization
| Reported by: | lpagani91 | Owned by: | petrrr |

| Priority: | Normal | Milestone: | |
| Component: | ports | Version: | 2.12.5 |
| Keywords: | Cc: | ||
| Port: | py311-pyopencl |
Description
pyopencl only exists for python 3.10 and 3.11. After installing python3.11 and launching ipython-3.11, i get this :
In [1]: import pyopencl A module that was compiled using NumPy 1.x cannot be run in NumPy 2.4.6 as it may crash. To support both 1.x and 2.x versions of NumPy, modules must be compiled with NumPy 2.0. Some module may need to rebuild instead e.g. with 'pybind11>=2.12'. If you are a user of the module, the easiest solution will be to downgrade to 'numpy<2' or try to upgrade the affected module. We expect that some modules will need time to support NumPy 2.

I am still having the same problem in 2026 as what I mentioned in #69350...
I am now running with Macports 2.12.5 environment, made a fresh reinstall of all my ports. Since pyopencl crashes at start in python3.11 and is not available for python3.14 inside Macports, I collected it using PIP-3.14 :
laurent>sudo -H pip-3.14 install pyopencl Collecting pyopencl Downloading pyopencl-2026.1.2-cp314-cp314-macosx_10_15_x86_64.whl.metadata (4.7 kB) Requirement already satisfied: numpy in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.14/lib/python3.14/site-packages (from pyopencl) (2.5.1) Requirement already satisfied: platformdirs>=2.2 in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.14/lib/python3.14/site-packages (from pyopencl) (4.11.0) Collecting pytools>=2025.1.6 (from pyopencl) Downloading pytools-2026.1.1-py3-none-any.whl.metadata (2.9 kB) Requirement already satisfied: typing_extensions>=4.6 in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.14/lib/python3.14/site-packages (from pyopencl) (4.16.0) Collecting siphash24>=1.6 (from pytools>=2025.1.6->pyopencl) Downloading siphash24-1.8-cp314-cp314-macosx_10_13_x86_64.whl.metadata (3.2 kB) Downloading pyopencl-2026.1.2-cp314-cp314-macosx_10_15_x86_64.whl (438 kB) Downloading pytools-2026.1.1-py3-none-any.whl (99 kB) Downloading siphash24-1.8-cp314-cp314-macosx_10_13_x86_64.whl (77 kB) Installing collected packages: siphash24, pytools, pyopencl Successfully installed pyopencl-2026.1.2 pytools-2026.1.1 siphash24-1.8
I tested that i could import pyopencl in python3.14
LOC_OL>python3.14 Python 3.14.6 (main, Jun 10 2026, 15:47:22) [Clang 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.62)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import pyopencl >>>
however, trying to run the test.py mentioned in https://trac.macports.org/ticket/69350#comment:1 still crashes :
LOC_OL>python test_pyopencl.py

However, since this is not directly linked to Macports anymore, you might consider it is none of your business... Fair enough. Simply, I wonder whether a true Macports install of pyopencl in Python 3.14 would help ?

this is somewhat similar to my previous ticket #69350 on the subject.
