[高家隆 <gaojialong@nudt.edu.cn>]

Dear StarPU Support Team,

I hope this email finds you well.I am writing to provide feedback regarding an issue I encountered when trying to import the "starpu" module in Python.

Here is the error message I received after compiling and generating "starpupy":

It appears that the "starpu" module is not properly linked, resulting in the import errors mentioned above. Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue?

I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide to help me successfully import and utilize the "starpu" module in my Python environment.

In addition, here is the procedure how I compile the source from git,

pip3 install joblib

pip3 install cloudpickle

pip3 install numpy

../configure --enable-simgrid --enable-starpupy --enable-blocking-drivers --prefix=/usr/local
