    **Data Layer**

    This function takes in the input and based on whether data has
    to be returned back as a minibatch, it creates the global variable by using
    the helper functions. The global variables can be accessed by all the
    following operators in the graph.

    All the input variables of this function are passed in as local variables
    to the LayerHelper constructor.

    Notice that paddle would only use :code:`shape` to infer the shapes of 
    following variables in the network during compile-time. During run-time, 
    paddle would not check whether the shape of the feeded data matches the 
    :code:`shape` settings in this function. 

    Args:
       name(str): The name/alias of the function
       shape(list): Tuple declaring the shape. If :code:`append_batch_size` is 
                    True and there is no -1 inside :code:`shape`, it should be 
                    considered as the shape of the each sample. Otherwise, it
                    should be considered as the shape of the batched data.  
       append_batch_size(bool):
          1. If true, it prepends -1 to the shape.
            For example if shape=[1], the resulting shape is [-1, 1]. This will 
            be useful to set different batch size at run time.
          2. If shape contains -1, such as shape=[1, -1].
            append_batch_size will be enforced to be be False (ineffective)
            because PaddlePaddle cannot set more than 1 unknown number on the
            shape.
       dtype(np.dtype|VarType|str): The type of data : float32, float16, int etc
       type(VarType): The output type. By default it is LOD_TENSOR.
       lod_level(int): The LoD Level. 0 means the input data is not a sequence.
       stop_gradient(bool): A boolean that mentions whether gradient should flow.

    Returns:
        Variable: The global variable that gives access to the data.

    Examples:
        .. code-block:: python

          import paddle.fluid as fluid

    Create a Python reader for data feeding in Python

    This layer returns a Reader Variable.
    The Reader provides :code:`decorate_paddle_reader()` and
    :code:`decorate_tensor_provider()` to set a Python generator as the data
    source. More details :ref:`user_guide_use_py_reader_en` .  When
    :code:`Executor::Run()` is invoked in C++ side, the data from the generator
    would be read automatically. Unlike :code:`DataFeeder.feed()`, the data
    reading process and :code:`Executor::Run()` process can run in parallel
    using :code:`py_reader`. The :code:`start()` method of the Reader should be
    called when each pass begins, while the :code:`reset()` method should be
    called when the pass ends and :code:`fluid.core.EOFException` raises.
    Note that :code:`Program.clone()` method cannot clone :code:`py_reader`.

    Args:
       capacity(int): The buffer capacity maintained by :code:`py_reader`.
       shapes(list|tuple): List of tuples which declaring data shapes.
       dtypes(list|tuple): List of strs which declaring data type.
       lod_levels(list|tuple): List of ints which declaring data lod_level.
       name(basestring): The prefix Python queue name and Reader name. None will
            be generated automatically.
       use_double_buffer(bool): Whether use double buffer or not.

    Returns:
       Variable: A Reader from which we can get feeding data.

    Examples:
       1. The basic usage of :code:`py_reader` is as follows:
       
       .. code-block:: python
    
         import paddle
         import paddle.fluid as fluid
         import paddle.dataset.mnist as mnist

         def network(image, label):
             # user defined network, here a softmax regresssion example
             predict = fluid.layers.fc(input=image, size=10, act='softmax')
             return fluid.layers.cross_entropy(input=predict, label=label)

         reader = fluid.layers.py_reader(capacity=64,
                                         shapes=[(-1, 1, 28, 28), (-1, 1)],
                                         dtypes=['float32', 'int64'])
         reader.decorate_paddle_reader(
             paddle.reader.shuffle(paddle.batch(mnist.train(), batch_size=5),
                                   buf_size=1000))

         img, label = fluid.layers.read_file(reader)
         loss = network(img, label)

         fluid.Executor(fluid.CUDAPlace(0)).run(fluid.default_startup_program())
         exe = fluid.ParallelExecutor(use_cuda=True)
         for epoch_id in range(10):
             reader.start()
             try:
                 while True:
                     exe.run(fetch_list=[loss.name])
             except fluid.core.EOFException:
                 reader.reset()

         fluid.io.save_inference_model(dirname='./model',
                                       feeded_var_names=[img.name, label.name],
                                       target_vars=[loss],

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