<p>Due to the refactorization of the PaddlePaddle core, we need Python classes to construct corresponding protobuf messages that describe a DL program.</p>
<p>| Python classes | Protobuf messages |
| &#8212; | &#8212; |
| Program | ProgramDesc |
| Block | BlockDesc |
| Operator | OpDesc |
| Variable | VarDesc |</p>
<p>Please be aware that these Python classes need to maintain some construction-time information, which are not part of the protobuf messages.</p>

<p>A <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code> describes a <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/doc/design/program.md">DL program</a>, which is composed of an array of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BlockDesc</span></code>s.  The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BlockDesc</span></code>s in a <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code> can have a tree-like hierarchical structure. However, the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ProgramDesc</span></code> onlys stores a flattened array of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BlockDesc</span></code>s. A <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">BlockDesc</span></code> refers to its parent block by its index in the array.  For example, operators in the step block of an RNN operator need to be able to access variables in its ancestor blocks.</p>
<p>Whenever we create a block, we need to set its parent block to the current block, hence the Python class <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Program</span></code> needs to maintain a data member <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">current_block</span></code>.</p>

<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">create_parameter</span></code> is necessary because parameters are global variables, defined in the global block, but can be created in some sub-blocks. For example, an FC layer in the step block of an RNN operator.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">prepend_operator</span></code> is necessary because the constructor of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Parameter</span></code> needs to create the initialize (or load) operator of the parameter, and would like to put it in the <em>preamble</em> of the global block.</p>
