Comment (by lpagani91):
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 :
{{{

I tested that i could import pyopencl in python3.14
{{{

}}}
however, trying to run the test.py mentioned in
[https://trac.macports.org/ticket/69350#comment:1] still crashes :

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 ?
