Feature request: To have TensorRT preinstalled in Google Colab.

Feature request

Given we can have CUDA and cuDNN, it would be amazing to have TensorRT preinstalled in Google Colab. Link

Describe the current behavior:

Currently, tensorRT is unavailble in Colab:

import tensorrt as trt

ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-9-0a87b2689341> in <module>()
----> 1 import tensorrt as trt

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorrt'

in order for the above to work, one needs to undergo a tedious, and rather long process of manually installing tensorRT in Colab, which not only wastes developer time but also wastes GPU time (GPU is necessary for tensorRT installation to work).

Describe the expected behavior:

It would be amazing if tensorRT came preinstalled by default, and we could straight away do:

import tensorrt as trt

I wouldn’t mind this beeing only-pro or only-gpu option.

If you’re struggling with this - Nvidia recently made it possible to install in Colab via pip (this takes couple of minutes though).

!pip install --upgrade --index-url https://pypi.ngc.nvidia.com nvidia-tensorrt

And in Colab:

import tensorrt as trt

trt.__version__
# 8.4.0.6

Is there any update regarding this issue?
