Are the PyPi wheels built with CUDA?

[sarlinpe]

Good point, fixed by #188.

PyPI wheels are not built with CUDA support at the moment. You are very welcome to help us support it. Some pointers:

• We'd need to install the Cuda toolkit in the CenOS manylinux image, either through yum (here is a good starting point) or via pip (described here)
• It would be nice to not package the Cuda libs in the wheel and instead depend on Cuda pip packages - we'd need to add these requirements to the pycolmap wheels.
• I don't know whether we need to build a separate wheel for each version of Cuda

I think the pytorch way, where a MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH+LOCAL scheme where LOCAL is e.g. cuda11 probably is the way to go. I'm not asking for you to dist cuda wheel, but I am hoping for you to clarify the state on PyPi in the README. 😄

Just a note: The pycolmap conda wheels are built with CUDA.

Indeed, the build repo is here: https://github.com/conda-forge/pycolmap-feedstock I am not familiar with the conda build CI
