Users start a PaddlePaddle job by running the - `paddle_trainer` C++ program, which calls Python interpreter to run the - network topology configuration script and then start the training loop, - which iteratively calls the data provider function to load minibatches. - This prevents us from writing a Python program in a modern way, e.g., in the - Jupyter Notebook. - -- The new API, which we often refer to as the *v2 API*, allows us to write - much shorter Python programs to define the network and the data in a single - .py file.
