Initialization of pyculib.sparse.Sparse( ) fail

Hi,
I have pyculib version 1.02 installed within Anaconda 5.3, on linux x86_64. However, the Sparse( ) fails to initialize. Below are the error messages. Thanks for any help you can offer!

In [1]: import pyculib                                                          


In [2]: pyculib.__version__                                                     

Out[2]: '1.0.2+2.g7ae9662'

In [3]: pyculib.sparse.Sparse( )

Reproduce pyculib.sparse.Sparse() with the reported Python 3.6 environment, then read pyculib/sparse/api.py and pyculib/sparse/binding.py around cuSparse initialization, along with pyculib/utils/libutils.py. Done means identifying why cusparseCreate returns CUSPARSE_STATUS_NOT_INITIALIZED and confirming that Sparse() initializes successfully without masking the underlying cause.
