[dev] Determine if namespace packaging will work for imports alongside pytorch. about hydra-torch HOT 2 CLOSED

Keep in mind that whatever decision we have should either be friendly to what configen supports now or be added there.
I don't think we can do torch_config.optim.AdamConf right now.

see module_path_pattern.

from hydra-torch.

Alright, until someone can raise an issue, we are going to stick with: hydra_configs.<module_path>. If others create their own configen configs such as: https://github.com/romesco/hydra-lightning for example, the idea is to ensure the package is set up as a compatible native namespace package. This means the module dir name is config and there is no __init__.py at the top level.

If those conventions are adhered to, many structured configs from different projects can be imported along side each other like in this example:

# structured config imports
from hydra_configs.torch.optim import AdamConf
from hydra_configs.torchvision.datasets import DatasetFolderConf
from hydar_configs.pytorch_lightning.trainer import TrainerConf
