Lightning supports registering Trainer callbacks directly through
|
|
`Entry Points <https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/entry_point.html>`_. Entry points allow an arbitrary
|
|
package to include callbacks that the Lightning Trainer can automatically use, without you having to add them
|
|
to the Trainer manually. This is useful in production environments where it is common to provide specialized monitoring
|
|
and logging callbacks globally for every application.
|
|
|
|
Here is a callback factory function that returns two special callbacks:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
:caption: factories.py
|
|
|
|
def my_custom_callbacks_factory():
|
|
return [MyCallback1(), MyCallback2()]
|
|
|
|
If we make this `factories.py` file into an installable package, we can define an **entry point** for this factory function.
|
|
Here is a minimal example of the `setup.py` file for the package `my-package`:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
:caption: setup.py
|
|
|
|
from setuptools import setup
|
|
|
|
setup(
|
|
name="my-package",
|
|
version="0.0.1",
|
|
install_requires=["pytorch-lightning"],
|
|
entry_points={
|
|
"pytorch_lightning.callbacks_factory": [
|
|
# The format here must be [any name]=[module path]:[function name]
|
|
"monitor_callbacks=factories:my_custom_callbacks_factory"
|
|
]
|
|
},
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
The group name for the entry points is ``pytorch_lightning.callbacks_factory`` and it contains a list of strings that
|
|
specify where to find the function within the package.
|
|
|
|
Now, if you `pip install -e .` this package, it will register the ``my_custom_callbacks_factory`` function and Lightning
|
|
will automatically call it to collect the callbacks whenever you run the Trainer!
|
|
|
|
To unregister the factory, simply uninstall the package with `pip uninstall "my-package"`.
