[FIXED] Activate cuda support for Pytorch / pipenv

Issue

I followed this answer to install Pytorch with cuda support in my pipenv (running on a Windows machine). My Pipfile looks like this:

[...]

[[source]]
name = "pytorch"
url = "https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118"
verify_ssl = false

[packages]
[...]
torch = {index = "pytorch",version = "==2.1.0"}
torchvision = {index = "pytorch",version = "==0.16.0"}
torchaudio = {index = "pytorch",version = "==2.1.0"}

and when I execute pipenv graph it looks also good to me:

(venv) λ pipenv graph

However, the Pytorch in my venv reports it was not built with CUDA support

(venv) λ python

In a different project on the same machine, I have a conda envrionment and cuda is working there, so it is supported by my machine. In the conda environment, those packages are installed:

pytorch                   2.1.0           py3.10_cuda11.8_cudnn8_0    pytorch
pytorch-cuda              11.8                 h24eeafa_5    pytorch
pytorch-mutex             1.0                        cuda    pytorch

Furthermore, I checked this answer and my output is:

λ nvcc --version
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2023 NVIDIA Corporation

Does anyone have an idea what is wrong / what I can try to get PyTorch running with cuda support in my venv?

Solution

I solved the problem.

Reason was, I mixed up venv and pipenv.

After deleting the environments via

pipenv --rm 

and deleting the venv directory in the project, I set it up correctly with pipenv:

pipenv install
pipenv shell

Now torch.cuda.is_available() returns True.
