    Create a Python reader for data feeding in Python

    source in Python side. When :code:`Executor::Run()` is invoked in C++
    side, the data from the generator would be read automatically. Unlike

    Returns:

    Examples:

        2. When training and testing are both performed, two different
        :code:`py_reader` should be created with different names, e.g.:

        >>> import paddle.v2
        >>> import paddle.fluid as fluid
