Good day! I've updated this to 12.0.0. Note that as of this version, the project has changed scope and now wraps python-nvidia-ml-py for many functions instead of duplicating them/being interchangeable! As such python-nvidia-ml-py is now a dependency of python-pynvml. From the Github:

"Warning

The pynvml module is NOT developed or maintained in this project!

This project provides unofficial NVML Python utilities (i.e. the pynvml_utils module). The pynvml_utils module is intended for demonstration purposes only. There is no guarantee for long-term maintenence or support.

The pynvml_utils module depends on the official NVML bindings published by NVIDIA under a different nvidia-ml-py project (see: https://pypi.org/project/nvidia-ml-py/)"

I updated this to the 11.5.3 version which is the last revision under the name pynvml in case anyone needs it but for anyone else please be aware that this package has been superseded by https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-nvidia-ml-py which is the current project name so that will be newer than this! It's drop in compatible, still imports under pynvml so if you don't specifically need this one then that's probably the better choice! Why they changed the name is beyond me but the notable presence of "nvidia" in the new package name is my suspicion.

Currently broken. Works just fine if I change the PKGBUILD to pull the new 11.5.3 version and set the sha sum to SKIP though.

I fixed the build for the old version (the 11.5) by changing for python 12.3 a few lines:

SafeConfigParser becomes ConfigParser
readfp becomes read_file

and it works, but it is older code, from 2023. the new code is from this week https://pypi.org/project/nvidia-ml-py/

Build also fails for me.

For those wondering if this is the right package for you, it is the same as the PyPI package pynvml, and allows atopgpud.service in the community/atop package to capture NVIDIA GPU metrics. (The atop package has a virtual optional dependency to this package.)
