        """
        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 object. 
            use_double_buffer (bool): whether to use double_buffer_reader to 
                speed up data feeding. 
            iterable (bool): whether the created reader object is iterable.   

        Returns:
            reader (Reader): the created reader object.

        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.

            .. code-block:: python
            
                image = fluid.layers.data(
                            name='image', shape=[784], dtype='float32')
                label = fluid.layers.data(
                            name='label', shape=[1], dtype='int64')
            
                reader = fluid.io.PyReader(feed_list=[image, label], 
                            capacity=4, iterable=False)
                reader.decorate_paddle_reader(user_defined_reader)
                ... # definition of network is omitted
                executor.run(fluid.default_main_program())
                for _ in range(EPOCH_NUM):
                    reader.start()
                    while True:
                        try:
                            executor.run(feed=None, ...)
                        except fluid.core.EOFException:
                            reader.reset()
                            break
                    
            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=...)`.
