Summary:
We have:
- This is an initial stab at creating a type stub `torch/__init__.pyi` .
- This is only tested on Python 3, since that's the only Python version mypy
works on.
- So far, we only aim at doing this for torch functions and torch.Tensor.
- Quite a few methods and functions have to be typed manually. These are
done in `torch/__init__.pyi.in`
For me, PyCharm (the non-paid one) didn't seem to indicate errors in the .pyi when opening and seemed to be able to get the type hint for the few functions I tried, but I don't use PyCharm for my usual PyTorch activities, so I didn't extensively try this out.
An example of a generated PYI is at [this gist](https://gist.github.com/ezyang/bf9b6a5fa8827c52152858169bcb61b1).
