This replaces the torch.Tensor constructors with factories that produce
Variables. Similarly, functions on the torch module (e.g. torch.randn)
now return Variables.
To keep the PR to a reasonable size, I've left most of the unused tensor
code. Subsequent PRs will remove the dead code, clean-up calls to
torch.autograd.Variable, and rename Variable to Tensor everywhere.
There are some breaking changes because Variable and Tensors had
slightly different semantics. There's a list of those changes here:
https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/wiki/Breaking-Changes-from-Variable-and-Tensor-merge
Variable.item() converts one-element tensors to standard Python numbers.
This operates like float(var) or int(var) depending on
the data type of the Variable.
* Replace async with non_blocking for Python 3.7 upgrade
* Remove trailing whitespace
* Give _cuda and _type kwargs and accept async for compatibility
* Rename async to non_blocking in all C++ code
* Add entries for async in python_variable_methods
* Friendlier backward compatibility for cuda and type
* Add torch.take and Tensor.put_
These are similar to numpy.take and numpy.put. The take function allows
you to linearly index into a tensor without viewing it as a 1D tensor
first. The output has the same shape as the indices. The put function
copies value into a tensor also using linear indices.
Here's the command I used to invoke autopep8 (in parallel!):
git ls-files | grep '\.py$' | xargs -n1 -P`nproc` autopep8 -i
Several rules are ignored in setup.cfg. The goal is to let autopep8
handle everything which it can handle safely, and to disable any rules
which are tricky or controversial to address. We may want to come back
and re-enable some of these rules later, but I'm trying to make this
patch as safe as possible.
Also configures flake8 to match pep8's behavior.
Also configures TravisCI to check the whole project for lint.
