Module: tf.compat.v1.flags.tf_decorator

Base TFDecorator class and utility functions for working with decorators.

There are two ways to create decorators that TensorFlow can introspect into. This is important for documentation generation purposes, so that function signatures aren't obscured by the (*args, **kwds) signature that decorators often provide.

  1. Call tf_decorator.make_decorator on your wrapper function. If your decorator is stateless, or can capture all of the variables it needs to work with through lexical closure, this is the simplest option. Create your wrapper function as usual, but instead of returning it, return tf_decorator.make_decorator(target, your_wrapper). This will attach some decorator introspection metadata onto your wrapper and return it.

Example:

def print_hello_before_calling(target): def wrapper(*args, *kwargs): print('hello') return target(args, **kwargs) return tf_decorator.make_decorator(target, wrapper)

  1. Derive from TFDecorator. If your decorator needs to be stateful, you can implement it in terms of a TFDecorator. Store whatever state you need in your derived class, and implement the __call__ method to do your work before calling into your target. You can retrieve the target via super(MyDecoratorClass, self).decorated_target, and call it with whatever parameters it needs.

Example:

class CallCounter(tf_decorator.TFDecorator): def init(self, target): super(CallCounter, self).init('count_calls', target) self.call_count = 0

def call(self, *args, *kwargs): self.call_count += 1 return super(CallCounter, self).decorated_target(args, **kwargs)

def count_calls(target): return CallCounter(target)

Modules

tf_stack module: Functions used to extract and analyze stacks. Faster than Python libs.

Classes

class TFDecorator: Base class for all TensorFlow decorators.

Functions

make_decorator(...): Make a decorator from a wrapper and a target.

rewrap(...): Injects a new target into a function built by make_decorator.

unwrap(...): Unwraps an object into a list of TFDecorators and a final target.
