Question
The documentation is somewhat confusing and is marked for Advanced use after mentioning the mechanism to reference entrypoint, but is there a reason we can't also specify the tracker's entrypoint right in .torchxconfig
in addition to those discoverable via entry_points.txt
? E.g.:
[torchx:tracker]
my_tracker=my_module:my_function
[tracker:my_tracker]
...
If there's no strong reason not to - I can contribute, @kiukchung. Especially since hydra is already in the dependencies we can simply use hydra.utils.get_method
/hydra.utils.call
@clumsy I don't think there is a strong reason, feel free to contribute!
