Package Contents
----------------

.. py:function:: astype(x, dtype_name, **kwargs)

   Cast array as type ``dtype_name`` - tries ``x.astype`` first.


.. py:function:: backend_like(like, set_globally='auto')

   Context manager for setting a default backend. The argument ``like`` can
   be an explicit backend name or an ``array`` to infer it from.

   :param like: The backend to set. If an array, the backend of the array's class will
                be set.
   :type like: str or array
   :param set_globally: Whether to set the backend globally or for the current thread:

                        - True: set the backend globally.
                        - False: set the backend for the current thread.
                        - "auto": set the backend globally if this thread is the thread that
                          imported autoray. Otherwise set the backend for the current thread.

                        Only one thread should ever call this function with
                        ``set_globally=True``, (by default this is importing thread).
   :type set_globally: {"auto", False, True}, optional


.. py:function:: compose(fn, *, name=None)

   Take a function consisting of multiple ``autoray.do`` calls and compose
   it into a new, single, named function, registered with ``autoray.do``.

   This creates a default implementation of this function for each new backend
   encountered without explicitly having to write each out, but also allows
   for specific implementations to be overridden for specific backends.

   If the function takes a ``backend`` argument, it will be supplied with the
   backend name, to save having to re-choose the backend.

   Specific implementations can be provided by calling the ``register`` method
   of the composed function, or it can itself be used like a decorator::

       @compose
       def foo(x):
           ...

       @foo.register("numpy")
       @numba.njit
       def foo_numba(x):
           ...

   :param fn: The funtion to compose, and its default implementation.
   :type fn: callable
   :param name: The name of the composed function. If not provided, the name of the
                function will be used.
   :type name: str, optional


.. py:function:: conj(x)

   Array conjugate.


.. py:function:: dag(x)

   Array Hermitian transpose.


.. py:function:: do(fn, *args, like=None, **kwargs)

   Do function named ``fn`` on ``(*args, **kwargs)``, peforming single
   dispatch to retrieve ``fn`` based on whichever library defines the class of
   the ``args[0]``, or the ``like`` keyword argument if specified.

   .. rubric:: Examples

   Works on numpy arrays:

       >>> import numpy as np
       >>> x_np = np.random.uniform(size=[5])
       >>> y_np = do('sqrt', x_np)
       >>> y_np
       array([0.32464973, 0.90379787, 0.85037325, 0.88729814, 0.46768083])

       >>> type(y_np)
       numpy.ndarray

   Works on cupy arrays:

       >>> import cupy as cp
       >>> x_cp = cp.random.uniform(size=[5])
       >>> y_cp = do('sqrt', x_cp)
       >>> y_cp
       array([0.44541656, 0.88713113, 0.92626237, 0.64080557, 0.69620767])

       >>> type(y_cp)
       cupy.core.core.ndarray

   Works on tensorflow arrays:

       >>> import tensorflow as tf
       >>> x_tf = tf.random.uniform(shape=[5])
       >>> y_tf = do('sqrt', x_tf)
       >>> y_tf
       <tf.Tensor 'Sqrt_1:0' shape=(5,) dtype=float32>

       >>> type(y_tf)
       tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor

   You get the idea.

   For functions that don't dispatch on the first argument you can use the
   ``like`` keyword:

       >>> do('eye', 3, like=x_tf)
       <tf.Tensor: id=91, shape=(3, 3), dtype=float32>


.. py:function:: get_backend(get_globally='auto')

   Return the universally set backend, if any.

   :param get_globally: Which backend to return:

                        - True: return the globally set backend, if any.
                        - False: return the backend set for the current thread, if any.
                        - "auto": return the globally set backend, if this thread is the thread
                          that imported autoray. Otherwise return the backend set for the
                          current thread, if any.
   :type get_globally: {"auto", False, True}, optional

   :returns: **backend** -- The name of the backend, or None if no backend is set.
   :rtype: str or None


.. py:function:: get_common_dtype(*arrays)

   Compute the minimal dtype sufficient for ``arrays``.


.. py:function:: get_dtype_name(x)

   Find string specifier ``dtype_name`` of array ``x``.


.. py:function:: get_lib_fn(backend, fn)

   Cached retrieval of correct function for backend, all the logic for
   finding the correct funtion only runs the first time.

   :param backend: The module defining the array class to dispatch on.
   :type backend: str
   :param fn: The function to retrieve.
   :type fn: str

   :rtype: callable


.. py:function:: get_namespace(like=None, device=None, dtype=None, submodule=None)

   Get an automatic namespace object.

   If `like` is None, the namespace essentially provides an alternative syntax
   to `do`, dispatching each function at calltime, and allowing the backend
   and function implementations to be dynamically updated.

   If `like` is supplied however, the backend is eagerly dispatched and
   functions are loaded and cached specifically for that backend. In this
   case, default `device` and `dtype` can also be specified for various array
   creation routines, or if `like` is an array, inferred from that.

   :param like: An array-like object to dispatch on, an explicit backend name, or None.
   :type like: array-like, str or None, optional
   :param device: The device to use for array creation, or None to infer from `like`.
   :type device: str or None, optional
   :param dtype: The data type to use for array creation, or None to infer from `like`.
   :type dtype: str or None, optional

   :returns: An automatic namespace object.
   :rtype: AutoNamespace


.. py:function:: imag(x)

   Array imaginary part.


.. py:function:: is_array(x)

   An alternative leaf tester for addressing only arrays within trees.


.. py:function:: infer_backend_multi(*arrays)

   Infer which backend should be used for a function that takes multiple
   arguments. This assigns a priority to each backend, and returns the backend
   with the highest priority. By default, the priority is:

   - ``builtins``: -2
   - ``numpy``: -1
   - other backends: 0
   - ``autoray.lazy``: 1

   I.e. when mixing with ``numpy``, other array libraries are preferred, when
   mixing with ``autoray.lazy``, ``autoray.lazy`` is preferred. This has quite
   low overhead due to caching.


.. py:function:: infer_backend(array)

   Get the name of the library that defined the class of ``array`` - unless
   ``array`` is directly a subclass of ``numpy.ndarray``, in which case assume
   ``numpy`` is the desired backend.


.. py:function:: ndim(x)

   Get the number of dimensions of an array. This should be preferred to
   calling `x.ndim`, since not all backends implement that, and it can also be
   called on nested lists and tuples.

   :param x: The array to get the number of dimensions of. It can be an arbitrary
             nested list or tuple of arrays and scalars.
   :type x: array_like

   :returns: **ndim**
   :rtype: int


.. py:function:: real(x)

   Array real part.


.. py:function:: register_backend(cls, name)

   Register the name (and by default the module or submodule) of a custom
   array class.

   :param cls: The array class itself.
   :type cls: type
   :param name: The name of the backend that should be used for this class. By default
                this wil be assumed to be the location of the relevant functions for
                this class, but this can be overridden.
   :type name: str


.. py:function:: register_function(backend, name, fn, wrap=False)

   Directly provide your own function.

   :param backend: The name of the backend to register the function for.
   :type backend: str
   :param name: Name of the function, e.g. `'sum'` or `'linalg.svd'`.
   :type name: str
   :param fn: The function to register.
   :type fn: callable
   :param wrap: Whether to wrap the old function like ``fn(old_fn)`` rather than
                directly supply the entire new function.
   :type wrap: bool, optional


.. py:function:: reshape(x, shape)

   Array reshaped.


.. py:function:: set_backend(like, set_globally='auto')

   Set a default global backend. The argument ``like`` can be an explicit
   backend name or an ``array``.

   :param like: The backend to set. If an array, the backend of the array's class will
                be set.
   :type like: str or array
   :param set_globally: Whether to set the backend globally or for the current thread:

                        - True: set the backend globally.
                        - False: set the backend for the current thread.
                        - "auto": set the backend globally if this thread is the thread that
                          imported autoray. Otherwise set the backend for the current thread.

                        Only one thread should ever call this function with
                        ``set_globally=True``, (by default this is importing thread).
   :type set_globally: {"auto", False, True}, optional


.. py:function:: shape(x)

   Get the shape of an array as a tuple of int. This should be preferred
   to calling `x.shape` directly, as it:

       1. Allows customization (e.g. for torch and aesara which return
          different types for shape - use `@shape.register(backend)` to
          customize the behavior from this default implementation).
       2. Can be used on nested lists and tuples, without calling numpy.

   :param x: The array to get the shape of. It can be an arbitrary nested list or
             tuple of arrays and scalars, but is assumed not to be ragged.
   :type x: array_like

   :returns: **shape** -- The size of each dimension of the array.
   :rtype: tuple of int


.. py:function:: size(x)

   Get the size, or number of elements, of an array. This should be
   preferred to calling `x.size`, since not all backends implement that, and
   it can also be called on nested lists and tuples.

   :param x: The array to get the size of. It can be an arbitrary nested list or
             tuple of arrays and scalars.
   :type x: array_like

   :returns: **size**
   :rtype: int


.. py:function:: to_backend_dtype(dtype_name, like)

   Turn string specifier ``dtype_name`` into dtype of backend ``like``.


.. py:function:: to_numpy(x)

   Get a numpy version of array ``x``.


.. py:function:: transpose(x, *args)

   Array transpose.


.. py:function:: tree_apply(f, tree, is_leaf=is_not_container)

   Apply ``f`` to all leaves in ``tree``, no new pytree is built.

   :param f: A function to apply to all leaves in ``tree``.
   :type f: callable
   :param tree: A nested sequence of tuples, lists, dicts and other objects.
   :type tree: pytree
   :param is_leaf: A function to determine if an object is a leaf, ``f`` is only applied
                   to objects for which ``is_leaf(x)`` returns ``True``.
   :type is_leaf: callable


.. py:function:: tree_flatten(tree, is_leaf=is_not_container, get_ref=False)

   Flatten ``tree`` into a list of leaves.

   :param tree: A nested sequence of tuples, lists, dicts and other objects.
   :type tree: pytree
   :param is_leaf: A function to determine if an object is a leaf, only objects for which
                   ``is_leaf(x)`` returns ``True`` are returned in the flattened list.
   :type is_leaf: callable
   :param get_ref: If ``True``, a reference tree is also returned which can be used to
                   reconstruct the original tree from a flattened list.
   :type get_ref: bool

   :returns: * **objs** (*list*) -- The flattened list of leaf objects.
             * **(ref_tree)** (*pytree*) -- If ``get_ref`` is ``True``, a reference tree, with leaves of ``Leaf``,
               is returned which can be used to reconstruct the original tree.


.. py:function:: tree_iter(tree, is_leaf=is_not_container)

   Iterate over all leaves in ``tree``.

   :param f: A function to apply to all leaves in ``tree``.
   :type f: callable
   :param tree: A nested sequence of tuples, lists, dicts and other objects.
   :type tree: pytree
   :param is_leaf: A function to determine if an object is a leaf, ``f`` is only applied
                   to objects for which ``is_leaf(x)`` returns ``True``.
   :type is_leaf: callable


.. py:function:: tree_map(f, tree, is_leaf=is_not_container)

   Map ``f`` over all leaves in ``tree``, returning a new pytree.

   :param f: A function to apply to all leaves in ``tree``.
   :type f: callable

   :type is_leaf: callable

   :rtype: pytree


.. py:function:: tree_unflatten(objs, tree, is_leaf=is_leaf_placeholder)

   Unflatten ``objs`` into a pytree of the same structure as ``tree``.

   :param objs: A sequence of objects to be unflattened into a pytree.

   :param is_leaf: A function to determine if an object is a leaf, only objects for which
                   ``is_leaf(x)`` returns ``True`` will have the next item from ``objs``
                   inserted. By default checks for the ``Leaf`` object inserted by
                   ``tree_flatten(..., get_ref=True)``.
   :type is_leaf: callable

   :rtype: pytree


.. py:data:: numpy

.. py:function:: autojit(fn=None, *, backend=None, compiler_opts=None)

   Just-in-time compile an ``autoray`` function, automatically choosing
   the backend based on the input arrays, or via keyword argument.

   The backend used to do the compilation can be set in three ways:

       1. Automatically based on the arrays the function is called with,
          i.e. ``cfn(*torch_arrays)`` will use ``torch.jit.trace``.
       2. In this wrapper, ``@autojit(backend='jax')``, to provide a
          specific default instead.
       3. When you call the function ``cfn(*arrays, backend='torch')`` to
          override on a per-call basis.

   If the arrays supplied are of a different backend type to the compiler,
   then the returned array will also be converted back, i.e.
   ``cfn(*numpy_arrays, backend='tensorflow')`` will return a ``numpy`` array.

   The ``'python'`` backend simply extracts and unravels all the ``do`` calls
   into a code object using ``compile`` which is then run with ``exec``.
   This makes use of shared intermediates and constant folding, strips
   away any python scaffoliding, and is compatible with any library, but the
   resulting function is not 'low-level' in the same way as the other
   backends.

   :param fn: The autoray function to compile.
   :type fn: callable
   :param backend: If set, use this as the default backend. The options are:

                   - ``'python'``: extract and unravel all the ``do`` calls into a
                     code object using ``compile`` which is then run with ``exec``.
                   - ``'jax'``: use `jax.jit` to compile the function.
                   - ``'tensorflow'``: use `tf.function` to compile the function.
                   - ``'torch'``: use `torch.jit.trace` to compile the function.
                   - ``'pytensor'``: use `pytensor.function` to compile the function.

                   If not set, the backend will be inferred from the input arrays, or it
                   can be set at call time with the ``backend`` keyword argument.
   :type backend: str, optional
   :param compiler_opts: Dict of dicts when you can supply options for each compiler backend
                         separately, e.g.:
                         ``@autojit(compiler_opts={'tensorflow': {'jit_compile': True}})``.
   :type compiler_opts: dict[dict], optional

   :returns: **cfn** -- The function with auto compilation.
   :rtype: callable
