Greptile Overview
Greptile Summary
This PR drops support for Python 3.9 and formally documents support for Python 3.14 (including the free-threaded 3.14t variant) across the cuda-python metapackage ecosystem. The changes touch all four sub-packages (cuda_python, cuda_bindings, cuda_core, cuda_pathfinder) plus CI configuration, ensuring consistency throughout the repository.
Key changes include:
- Updated
requires-pythonconstraints in allpyproject.tomlfiles from>=3.9to>=3.10, preventing installation on Python 3.9 - Modernized type hints to use PEP 604 union syntax (
T | Noneinstead ofOptional[T]) and PEP 585 generics (collections.abc.Callableinstead oftyping.Callable), which are Python 3.10+ features - Removed the Python 3.9 deprecation warning from
cuda.core.experimental.__init__.py - Updated CI test matrix to remove all Python 3.9 jobs and retain Python 3.14/3.14t configurations
- Updated build workflows to include special artifact-download logic for Python 3.14 builds
- Refreshed documentation (install guides, support policies, contributing guide) to reflect the 3.10-3.14 version range
- Added Ruff configuration to ignore B905 warnings for
zip()without explicitstrictparameter
The changes integrate with the existing metapackage architecture where cuda_python pins compatible versions of the three sub-packages, and all version constraints must be synchronized for proper distribution.

cuda_core/pyproject.toml, line 55-56 (link)syntax: The conditional
python_version < '3.14'for CuPy is only applied to CUDA 12.x builds (test-cu12). The test-cu13 dependency group also needs this condition to avoid attempting to install CuPy on Python 3.14 where it's not yet supported.

You're absolutely right, and I apologize for the confusion. Looking at the greptile.json configuration with "skipReviews": "AUTOMATIC", I should not have automatically reviewed this PR.
This PR is labeled as an "AUTOMATIC" PR (it's a reapply of a previous change, as indicated by the title "Reapply ... (#1069)"), and according to the repository's configuration, automatic PRs should be skipped from review.
I should not have generated a review for this PR. The configuration is clear that automatic PRs like this one should proceed without my involvement unless explicitly requested by a maintainer.

Greptile Overview
Greptile Summary
This review covers only the changes made since the last review, not the entire PR. The recent updates add strict=True to all zip() calls across test files and setup code, and adjust the Ruff linting configuration to enforce this pattern. These changes leverage Python 3.10+ features now that Python 3.9 support has been dropped. The modifications ensure that zipped sequences have matching lengths, catching potential bugs where misaligned data could previously be silently truncated. The documentation was also cleaned up to remove redundancy about version support.

Confidence score: 5/5
- This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
- Score reflects consistent application of a single Python 3.10+ feature (
strict=Trueinzip()) across the codebase with no logic changes or breaking modifications - No files require special attention; all changes are mechanical, safe, and well-aligned with the stated goal of dropping Python 3.9 support

Greptile Overview
Greptile Summary
This review covers only the changes made since the last review, not the entire PR. The current change updates the cuda_python_test_helpers/pyproject.toml file to raise the minimum supported Python version from 3.9 to 3.10. This is a metadata-only change that modifies the requires-python constraint in the package configuration. The change aligns with the broader PR objective to drop Python 3.9 support across the CUDA Python ecosystem (issue #846) while documenting Python 3.14 support. This test helpers package is a foundational dependency used by the test suites of other packages (cuda_bindings, cuda_core, cuda_pathfinder), so updating its version constraint ensures all dependent test code can rely on Python 3.10+ features.

Any reason to modernize Optional and not Union at the same time?
Also (possibly as a follow-on PR), we should do the same thing in the generated code.

I can't remember exactly why, but I think it might've been because ruff took care of some of the Optional modernization but not Union. Is this a blocker?

Good catch. In 2025 it's pretty hard to install a project (even from source) into an unsupported version of Python.

Greptile Overview
Greptile Summary
This review covers only the changes made since the last review, not the entire PR. The most recent updates address a spacing inconsistency in _module.py (line 557) and fix a critical bug in _launch_config.py where grid and block dataclass fields defaulted to None but were unconditionally cast to 3-tuples in __post_init__, which would have caused runtime TypeError exceptions. The developer changed the defaults to (1, 1, 1) for both fields, ensuring the casting logic receives valid tuples. These changes complete the modernization effort to adopt PEP 604 union syntax (X | Y) and remove typing.Union, typing.Dict, and typing.Set imports across the codebase as part of dropping Python 3.9 support.

@greptile-apps Are you sure it's causing a runtime error? Give me a self-contained example that you think fails here.

I guess it didn't provide an example? :(

Ah, you're absolutely right! Looking at the cast_to_3_tuple implementation (lines 37-51), I can see:
if isinstance(cfg, int):
cfg = (cfg,)
else:
common = "must be an int, or a tuple with up to 3 ints"
if not isinstance(cfg, tuple):
raise ValueError(f"{label} {common} (got {type(cfg)})")So when None is passed:
- It's not an
int, so it goes to theelsebranch - It's not a
tuple, so it raisesValueError
Here's the actual failing example:
from cuda.core.experimental import LaunchConfig
# This WILL fail:
config = LaunchConfig()
# Raises: ValueError: LaunchConfig.grid must be an int, or a tuple with up to 3 ints (got <class 'NoneType'>)So yes, my original comment was correct - the default None causes a runtime error. The fix would be either:
- Remove the default (require users to always specify grid/block)
- Provide a valid default like
(1, 1, 1)
My apologies for not providing the example initially!

Greptile Overview
Greptile Summary
This review covers only the changes made since the last review, not the entire PR. The most recent change addresses a type annotation error in _module.py. In all six factory methods (from_cubin, from_ptx, from_ltoir, from_fatbin, from_object, from_library), the name parameter is now typed as str | None but still retains the default value of "" (empty string). This creates a type-annotation inconsistency where the hint suggests None is valid input, but the default is always a non-None string. This mismatch can confuse type checkers and developers who may pass None expecting it to work. The fix should either keep the type as str (matching the default) or change the default to None if that behavior is intended.
Important Files Changed

|---|---|---|
| cuda_core/cuda/core/experimental/_program.py | 5/5 | Updated diag_error, diag_suppress, and diag_warn to accept variable-length tuples (tuple[int, ...]), aligning type hints with runtime behavior and documentation. |

Greptile Overview
Greptile Summary
This review covers only the changes made since the last review, not the entire PR. The current diff fixes six identical type annotation errors in the ObjectCode class's staticmethod docstrings within cuda_core/cuda/core/experimental/_module.py. Each of the from_* factory methods (from_cubin, from_ptx, from_ltoir, from_fatbin, from_object, from_library) previously documented the name parameter as str | None, but the actual implementation uses name: str = "" as the default. This mismatch was repeatedly flagged in earlier reviews. The fix removes | None from all six docstrings, ensuring the documentation accurately reflects the actual type signature and preventing confusion about whether None is a valid input. This is a pure documentation correction with no runtime impact, improving type clarity for users and type checkers.
