 `cuda.bindings <https://nvidia.github.io/cuda-python/cuda-bindings/>`_ is a standard set of low-level interfaces, providing full coverage of and 1:1 access to the CUDA host APIs from Python. Checkout the `Overview <https://nvidia.github.io/cuda-python/cuda-bindings/latest/overview.html>`_ for the workflow and performance results.

 Starting from v12.8.0, ``cuda-python`` becomes a meta package which currently depends only on ``cuda-bindings``; in the future more sub-packages will be added to ``cuda-python``. In the instructions below, we still use ``cuda-python`` as example to serve existing users, but everything is applicable to ``cuda-bindings`` as well.

 * Automatic CUDA library path detection based on ``CUDA_HOME``, eliminating the need to manually set ``LIBRARY_PATH`` environment variables for installation.
 * The ``[all]`` optional dependencies now use ``cuda-toolkit`` with appropriate extras instead of individual packages. The NVCC compiler is no longer automatically installed with ``pip install cuda-python[all]`` as it was previously included only to access the NVVM library, which now has its own dedicated wheel. Users who need the NVCC compiler should explicitly install it with ``pip install cuda-toolkit[nvcc]==X.Y`` with the appropriate version for their needs.
