"""Wraps a python function into a TensorFlow op that executes it eagerly.
This function allows expressing computations in a TensorFlow graph as
Python functions. In particular, it wraps a Python function `func`
in a once-differentiable TensorFlow operation that executes it with eager
execution enabled. As a consequence, `tf.py_function` makes it
possible to express control flow using Python constructs (`if`, `while`,
`for`, etc.), instead of TensorFlow control flow constructs (`tf.cond`,
`tf.while_loop`). For example, you might use `tf.py_function` to
implement the log huber function:
```python
def log_huber(x, m):
if tf.abs(x) <= m:
return x**2
else:
return m**2 * (1 - 2 * tf.math.log(m) + tf.math.log(x**2))
x = tf.constant(1.0)
m = tf.constant(2.0)
with tf.GradientTape() as t:

y = tf.py_function(func=log_huber, inp=[x, m], Tout=tf.float32)
dy_dx = t.gradient(y, x)
assert dy_dx.numpy() == 2.0
```
You can also use `tf.py_function` to debug your models at runtime
using Python tools, i.e., you can isolate portions of your code that
you want to debug, wrap them in Python functions and insert `pdb` tracepoints
or print statements as desired, and wrap those functions in
`tf.py_function`.
For more information on eager execution, see the
[Eager guide](https://tensorflow.org/guide/eager).
`tf.py_function` is similar in spirit to `tf.compat.v1.py_func`, but unlike
the latter, the former lets you use TensorFlow operations in the wrapped
Python function. In particular, while `tf.compat.v1.py_func` only runs on CPUs
and wraps functions that take NumPy arrays as inputs and return NumPy arrays
as outputs, `tf.py_function` can be placed on GPUs and wraps functions
that take Tensors as inputs, execute TensorFlow operations in their bodies,
and return Tensors as outputs.
Note: We recommend to avoid using `tf.py_function` outside of prototyping
and experimentation due to the following known limitations:
* Calling `tf.py_function` will acquire the Python Global Interpreter Lock
(GIL) that allows only one thread to run at any point in time. This will
preclude efficient parallelization and distribution of the execution of the
program.
* The body of the function (i.e. `func`) will not be serialized in a
`GraphDef`. Therefore, you should not use this function if you need to
serialize your model and restore it in a different environment.
* The operation must run in the same address space as the Python program
that calls `tf.py_function()`. If you are using distributed
TensorFlow, you must run a `tf.distribute.Server` in the same process as the
program that calls `tf.py_function()` and you must pin the created
operation to a device in that server (e.g. using `with tf.device():`).
* Currently `tf.py_function` is not compatible with XLA. Calling
`tf.py_function` inside `tf.function(jit_compile=True)` will raise an
error.
Args:
func: A Python function that accepts `inp` as arguments, and returns a
value (or list of values) whose type is described by `Tout`.
inp: Input arguments for `func`. A list whose elements are `Tensor`s or
`CompositeTensors` (such as `tf.RaggedTensor`); or a single `Tensor` or
`CompositeTensor`.
Tout: The type(s) of the value(s) returned by `func`. One of the
following.
* If `func` returns a `Tensor` (or a value that can be converted to a
Tensor): the `tf.DType` for that value.
* If `func` returns a `CompositeTensor`: The `tf.TypeSpec` for that value.
* If `func` returns `None`: the empty list (`[]`).
* If `func` returns a list of `Tensor` and `CompositeTensor` values:
a corresponding list of `tf.DType`s and `tf.TypeSpec`s for each value.
name: A name for the operation (optional).
Returns:
The value(s) computed by `func`: a `Tensor`, `CompositeTensor`, or list of
`Tensor` and `CompositeTensor`; or an empty list if `func` returns `None`.

Given a python function `func`, which takes numpy arrays as its

Note: It produces tensors of unknown shape and rank as shape inference
does not work on arbitrary Python code.
If you need the shape, you need to set it based on statically
available information.

```python

return ones
ds = tf.data.Dataset.range(10)
ds = ds.map(preprocess_fn)
```
Args:
func: A Python function, which accepts `ndarray` objects as arguments and
returns a list of `ndarray` objects (or a single `ndarray`). This function
must accept as many arguments as there are tensors in `inp`, and these
argument types will match the corresponding `tf.Tensor` objects in `inp`.
The returns `ndarray`s must match the number and types defined `Tout`.
Important Note: Input and output numpy `ndarray`s of `func` are not
guaranteed to be copies. In some cases their underlying memory will be
shared with the corresponding TensorFlow tensors. In-place modification
or storing `func` input or return values in python datastructures
without explicit (np.)copy can have non-deterministic consequences.
inp: A list of `Tensor` objects.
Tout: A list or tuple of tensorflow data types or a single tensorflow data
type if there is only one, indicating what `func` returns.
stateful: (Boolean.) If True, the function should be considered stateful. If
a function is stateless, when given the same input it will return the same
output and have no observable side effects. Optimizations such as common
subexpression elimination are only performed on stateless operations.
name: A name for the operation (optional).
Returns:
A list of `Tensor` or a single `Tensor` which `func` computes.
@compatibility(TF2)
This name was deprecated and removed in TF2, but `tf.numpy_function` is a
near-exact replacement, just drop the `stateful` argument (all
`tf.numpy_function` calls are considered stateful). It is compatible with
eager execution and `tf.function`.
`tf.py_function` is a close but not an exact replacement, passing TensorFlow
tensors to the wrapped function instead of NumPy arrays, which provides
gradients and can take advantage of accelerators.

func: A Python function, which accepts `numpy.ndarray` objects as arguments
and returns a list of `numpy.ndarray` objects (or a single
`numpy.ndarray`). This function must accept as many arguments as there are
tensors in `inp`, and these argument types will match the corresponding
`tf.Tensor` objects in `inp`. The returns `numpy.ndarray`s must match the
number and types defined `Tout`.
Important Note: Input and output `numpy.ndarray`s of `func` are not
guaranteed to be copies. In some cases their underlying memory will be
shared with the corresponding TensorFlow tensors. In-place modification
or storing `func` input or return values in python datastructures
without explicit (np.)copy can have non-deterministic consequences.
inp: A list of `tf.Tensor` objects.
Tout: A list or tuple of tensorflow data types or a single tensorflow data
type if there is only one, indicating what `func` returns.
stateful: (Boolean.) Setting this argument to False tells the runtime to
treat the function as stateless, which enables certain optimizations.
A function is stateless when given the same input it will return the
same output and have no side effects; its only purpose is to have a
return value.
The behavior for a stateful function with the `stateful` argument False
is undefined. In particular, caution should be taken when
mutating the input arguments as this is a stateful operation.
name: (Optional) A name for the operation.
Returns:
Single or list of `tf.Tensor` which `func` computes.

"""Wraps user inputs to support composite tensors for `py_function`.
1. Flattens `inp` to a list of Tensors (by flattening any composite tensors).
2. Creates a wrapper fuction for `func` that expects flat inputs and:
- Packs the inputs into the input structure expected by `func`.
- Calls `func` with the packed inputs.
- Checks that `func`'s output matches `Tout`.
- Flattens func`'s output to a list of Tensors (flattening any composite
tensors).
Args:
func: The function to wrap (`func` argument to `py_function`).
inp: The input arguments for func (`inp` argument to `py_function`).
Tout: The expected output types for func (`Tout` argument to `py_function).
Returns:
A tuple `(func, inp, Tout, out_structure)`, where `func` is the wrapped
function, `inp` is the flattened inputs, `Tout` is the list of expected
dtypes for the flattened outputs, and `out_structure` is the expected
output structure (which can be used to pack the output tensors).
