    """
    DataLoader prodives an iterator which iterates given dataset
    once by the batch_sampler.

    DataLoader supports single-process and multi-prcess data loading,
    multi-process workers will be used to load data asynchronously if
    :attr:`num_workers` is set as a positive number.

    DataLoader only supports map-style dataset(can get a sample from
    dataset with a given index) currently, for a map-style dataset,
    please see :code:`paddle.io.Dataset`.

    batch_sampler please see :code:`paddle.io.BatchSampler`

    Args:  
        dataset(Dataset): the dataset to load data from, should be an
            instance of subclass of :code:`paddle.io.Dataset` or
            :code:`paddle.io.IterableDataset`.
        feed_list (list(Tensor)|tuple(Tensor)): feed variable list.
            The variables should be created by :code:`fluid.data()`.
            :attr:`feed_list` must be set if :attr:`return_list` is
            False. Default None.
        places(list(Place)|tuple(Place)): a list of Place, to put data
            onto, :attr:`places` must be set in both static graph and 
            dynamic graph mode, in dynamic graph mode, place number must
            be 1. Default None.
        return_list (bool): whether the return value on each device is 
            presented as a list. If :attr:`return_list=False`, the return
            value on each device would be a dict of str -> LoDTensor, where
            the key of the dict is the name of each fed variables. If 
            :attr:`return_list=True`, the return value on each device would
            be a list(LoDTensor). :attr:`return_list` can only be True
            in dynamic graph mode. Default False.
        batch_sampler(BatchSampler): an instance of `paddle.io.BatchSampler`
            to generate batch indices to draw samples from :attr:`dataset`
            and combine a batch. Default None.
        batch_size(int): sample number in a mini-batch, a substitution
            parameter for :attr:`batch_sampler`, if :attr:`batch_sampler`
            is not set, a default `paddle.io.BatchSampler` will be used
            and initialize by :attr:`batch_size`, :attr:`shuffle` and
            :attr:`drop_last`. Default 1.
        shuffle(bool): whther to shuffle indices order before genrate
            batch indices, a substitution parameter for :attr:`batch_sampler`
            see :attr:`batch_size`. Default False.
        drop_last(bool): whether drop the last incomplete batch dataset size
            is not divisible by the batch size, a substitution parameter
            for :attr:`batch_sampler`, see :attr:`batch_size`. Default False
        collate_fn(callable): function to generate mini-batch data by merging
            the sample list, None for only stack each fields of sample in axis
            0(same as :attr::`np.stack(..., axis=0)`). Default None
        num_workers(int): the number of subprocess to load data, 0 for no
            subprocess used and loading data in main process. Default 0
        use_buffer_reader (bool): whether to use bufferred reader. 
            If use_buffer_reader=True, the DataLoader would prefetch next 
            batch data asynchronously, so it would speed up data feeding 
            and occupies a little more CPU or GPU memory, i.e., the memory
            of one batch input data. Default True.
        use_shared_memory (bool): whether to use shared memory to speed up
            putting data into inter-process queue, set :attr:`use_shared_memory`
            as True only when the shared memory space on your machine(e.g.
            space of '/dev/shm' on Linux operating sysytem) is large enough.
            Shared memory will only be enabled in multi-process mode(num_workers
            > 0). Default True.
        timeout(int): the timeout value for getting data form output queue
            of subprocesses. Default 0.
        worker_init_fn(callable): init function which will be called with
            worker id on each subproces starting if not set as None. Default
            None.

        :code:`set_batch_generator` . Please see the following example codes
        to know their usages.
        
        If iterable = True, the created DataLoader object is a Python generator
        object, which is iterable using for-range loop.

        If iterable = False, the created DataLoader object provides 
        :code:`start()` and :code:`reset()` method to control the data reading
        process. This mode is designed to be compatible with the 
        :code:`fluid.layers.py_reader` interface. Users can migrate the codes   
        from :code:`fluid.layers.py_reader` to :code:`fluid.io.DataLoader` 
        easily when using iterable=False. 

        Args:  
            feed_list (list(Variable)|tuple(Variable)): feed variable list.
                The variables should be created by :code:`fluid.data()`.
            capacity (int): capacity of the queue maintained in DataLoader.
                The unit is batch number. Set larger capacity if your reader 
                is fast. 
            use_double_buffer (bool): whether to use double_buffer_reader. 
                If use_double_buffer=True, the DataLoader would prefetch next 
                batch data asynchronously, so it would speed up data feeding 
                and occupies a little more CPU or GPU memory, i.e., the memory
                of one batch input data. 
            iterable (bool): whether the created DataLoader is iterable. 
            return_list (bool): whether the return value on each device is 
                presented as a list. It is only valid when iterable=True. 
                If return_list=False, the return value on each device would 
                be a dict of str -> LoDTensor, where the key of the dict is 
                the name of each fed variables. If return_list=True, the 
                return value on each device would be a list(LoDTensor). It is
                recommended to use return_list=False in static graph mode and
                use return_list=True in dygraph mode.  
            use_multiprocess (bool): whether to use multi-process to speed up
                the data loading process in dygraph. Note: this parameter only
                can be used in the dygraph mode. In the static graph mode,
                whether this parameter is set or not has no effect.
                The Default value is False.
            drop_last (bool): whether to drop the last batches whose number is
                less than the CPU core/GPU card number. The default value is 
                True. In training phase, users should not set drop_last=False,
                because all CPU cores/GPU cards must read data from DataLoader. 
                In inference phase, users can set drop_last=False, so that the
                last batches whose number is less than the CPU core/GPU card
                number can be tested. 

        Returns:
            loader (DataLoader): the created DataLoader object.

class PyReader(DataLoaderBase):
    """
    Create a reader object for data feeding in Python. 
    Data would be prefetched using Python thread and be pushed
    into a queue asynchronously. Data in the queue would be extracted 
    automatically when `Executor.run(...)` is called.

    Args:  
        feed_list (list(Variable)|tuple(Variable)): feed variable list.
            The variables should be created by :code:`fluid.layers.data()`.
        capacity (int): capacity of the queue maintained in PyReader.
            The unit is batch number. Set larger capacity if your reader 
            is fast. 
        use_double_buffer (bool): whether to use double_buffer_reader. 
            If use_double_buffer=True, PyReader would prefetch next 
            batch data asynchronously, so it would speed up data feeding 
            and occupies a little more CPU or GPU memory, i.e., the memory
            of one batch input data. 
        iterable (bool): whether the created PyReader is iterable. 
        return_list (bool): whether the return value on each device is 
            presented as a list. It is only valid when iterable=True. 
            If return_list=False, the return value on each device would 
            be a dict of str -> LoDTensor, where the key of the dict is 
            the name of each fed variables. If return_list=True, the 
            return value on each device would be a list(LoDTensor). It is
            recommended to use return_list=False in static graph mode and
            use return_list=True in dygraph mode. 

    Returns:
        the created reader object.

    Return type:
        reader(Reader)

    Examples:
        1. If iterable = False, the created PyReader object is almost the
           same as :code:`fluid.layers.py_reader()`. Operators would be 
           inserted into the program. User should call :code:`start()` 
           before each epoch and catch :code:`fluid.core.EOFException`
           thrown by :code:`Executor.run()` when epoch ends. Once the 
           exception is caught, user should call :code:`reset()` to reset 
           the reader manually.

        2. If iterable=True, the created PyReader object is decoupled with
           the program. No operator would be inserted into the program. 
           In this case, the created reader is a Python generator, which 
           is iterable. User should feed the data yielded from PyReader 
           object into :code:`Executor.run(feed=...)`.

        Set the data source of the PyReader object.

        The provided :code:`reader` should be a Python generator,
        which yields numpy.ndarray-typed or LoDTensor-typed batched data.

        :code:`places` must be set when the PyReader object is iterable.
