I've been looking into the TVM lower/build pipeline recently and have encountered an unusual duplication around the 'driver'. In particular, we have two files `src/driver/driver_api.cc` and `python/tvm/driver/build_module.py` which both seem to independently define almost identical functionality. What has motivated this design rather than using the ffi to just expose the C++ functionality through Python? I'm interested in making some changes in this part of the code so it would be good to know whether I have to make identical changes in both files.
Additionally, I'm seeing a strange 'mix-and-match' between these two files when invoking `relay.build`. In particular, we seem to use the Python version of `lower` but the C++ version of `build`. I can find no obvious motivation for this behaviour in the code. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! @manupa-arm @tqchen --- [Visit Topic](https://discuss.tvm.apache.org/t/duplication-of-the-driver-between-c-and-python/9702/1) to respond.
