Requirements & encoding

[nil-andreu]

This is a small contribution on some things that I found interesting to take into consideration:

• requirements.txt: provide an easy way to create the environment.
• .gitignore: ignore the virtual environment as well as the data files
• encoding: specify the encoding with the I/O operations to make sure that the data is consistent across the Operating Systems

For me is totally fine if you want to review/discuss/reject them. Let me know if it is needed anything else.

Hi ty

• I like the encodings change
• I don't like boilerplate gitignores, I like when they're specific to repo
• pip installing pytorch would not grab the nightly I believe?

Hi ty Hello!

• I like the encodings change Thankss! Fine
• I don't like boilerplate gitignores, I like when they're specific to repo Okay, could remove the things that are general and make it only specific to a repository.
• pip installing pytorch would not grab the nightly I believe? Not, but I saw the issue that this package was having with the 32 precision. So I could add the nightly as well in the requirements.

I would like to be contributor if you need any help on more development!

You can point it at the nightly index URLs, but to do so via pip requires choosing a CUDA version to target as they have different URLs. This is a better dev experience for those who have that version, but worse for everyone else who doesn't.

I'd like to have better requirements flow for the repo but don't love this specific approach. Will think on. Ty.
