This RFC summarizes discussion in https://discuss.tvm.ai/t/tvm-python-project-organization-after-unified-ir/5383
We will perform the following changes to the python project. ## Introduce Namespaces to Reflect the C++ folder structure - _ffi FFI related logics - runtime runtime data structures and APIs - We should be able to run TVM runtime by only taking _ffi and runtime folder - relay - tir - target - te ## FFI function exposure convention Expose all ffi functions under a special _ffi file under the same namespace, initialize with prefix tvm.relay.op., use relative import ```python # file: tvm/relay/op/transform.py from . import _ffi def add(): return _ffi.add() ``` ## Upgrade Path - As a first step, we will keep things as backward compatible as possible by re-exposing the names to the top-level. - Then we will refer to the new names in the new namespace when necessary. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
