Please see note 2 on p. 25 of the Amber 2017 Reference Manual. What operating
system are you using, and how did you install python? (Did you accept
the offer to install miniconda?) [Developers: our configure_python
script doesn't attempt to get mpi4py. Is there a reason for this? Should
we give better instructions in the manual about why this is, and what to do?]

The python problem has nothing to do with how you installed mpich2.

Oooh....why would you even think about installing pmemd.cuda from Amber12,
when you have Amber16 available? It *is* the case that we can't help very
much if you are unable to install the nvidia cuda tools on your machine.
(You don't give any information about why not; but this is not the right
mailing list for that sort of question anyway.)
