-The default value and value range didn't appear in out previous design. By adding these two fields, we are able to check attribute validity in Python and find out possible error as soon as possible. What's more, by providing the message about default value and value range to Python docstring, it helps to automatically generate more comprehensive documents.
+To generate Python code automatically:
+
+```python 
+def create_python_ops_creatation_functions():
+	op_protos = paddle.framework.OpRegistry.get_all_op_proto()
+	for type_name in op_protos:
+		op_proto = op_protos[type_name]
+		def __impl__(**kwargs):  # User must use key word args in Paddle API
+			inputs = [kwargs.get(ipt.name, "") for ipt in op_proto.inputs]
+			outputs = [kwargs.get(opt.name, "") for opt in op_proto.outputs]
+			attrs = [cast_to_op_attr(attr, kwargs.get(attr.name, None)) for attr in op_proto.attrs]
+			opdesc = （input, outputs, type_name, attrs）

-## Op and Kernal
-
-After completely defined, an Op will be run in a network. However, Op's computing method may differ on different devices. One solution is that write an `Op`'s member function `Op::run()`, which contains computing methods of all possible devices. That may be a bad idea because we have to change all `Op`'s code to add a new device.
-
-Another choice is adding a concept named `kernal`. A `Kernal` describes an op's computing process on a certain device. After stripping `Variable` and `kernal`, `Op` becomes a pure conceptual class, which holds neither data nor detailed computing process.
-
-```cpp
-class KernalBase {
-public:
-  virtual void RunOnDevice(std::vector<Variable*> input_vars,
-                           std::vector<Variable*> input_vars,

-
-All `Kernal` need to be registered beforehand, just like `Op`.
-
-Now, `Op` is no longer has `Run()` function. It only contains names of variables and kernels. During network running, `RunOp()` is called to invoke `Op`'s corresponding `Kernal`. `get_kernal()` is supposed to return `kernal` for current device.
