Jeffro 29280864d9 Add new parameter for gen_pyi.py to make it more configureable. (#161772)
This is a reposting of PR #128519.
This change is important to how we maintain PyTorch at Google.

From the previous PR:
"
This will make the script more flexible for the directory where it is executed.
...
We plan to use the deprecated_yaml from a blaze genrule that invokes pyi.py. As the input to the pyi.py, genrule requires the input file to be explicitly listed out. When we feed the value of tools/autograd/deprecated.yaml to genrule, it failed to resolve since tools/autograd is a package from blaze perspective. Any file under a blaze package will a proper blaze target to be access.

This folder contains a number of scripts which are used as part of the PyTorch build process. This directory also doubles as a Python module hierarchy (thus the __init__.py).

Overview

Modern infrastructure:

  • autograd - Code generation for autograd. This includes definitions of all our derivatives.
  • jit - Code generation for JIT
  • shared - Generic infrastructure that scripts in tools may find useful.
    • module_loader.py - Makes it easier to import arbitrary Python files in a script, without having to add them to the PYTHONPATH first.

Build system pieces:

  • setup_helpers - Helper code for searching for third-party dependencies on the user system.
  • build_pytorch_libs.py - cross-platform script that builds all of the constituent libraries of PyTorch, but not the PyTorch Python extension itself.
  • build_libtorch.py - Script for building libtorch, a standalone C++ library without Python support. This build script is tested in CI.

Developer tools which you might find useful:

Important if you want to run on AMD GPU:

  • amd_build - HIPify scripts, for transpiling CUDA into AMD HIP. Right now, PyTorch and Caffe2 share logic for how to do this transpilation, but have separate entry-points for transpiling either PyTorch or Caffe2 code.
    • build_amd.py - Top-level entry point for HIPifying our codebase.

Tools which are only situationally useful:
