* [WIP] Added load_extension on Python side * Added load_extension to NodeFactory as an alternative way to expose them to user (openvino path only, no changes in ngraph legacy path * Reverted adding load_extensions in openvino.runtime * Renamed load_extension to add_extension to be aligned with other part of extension API * Applied code style rules * Shorter description of NodeFactory.add_extension * Fixed accidentally deleted indent * Explicit error when custom op without intpus is attempted to be created, better help for NodeFactory.add_extension (op version clarification) * Style fixes * Test to cover NodeFactory.add_extension * Minor wording changes * Code style * Fix code style * Limit NodeFactory.add_extension test to specific test configurations
OpenVINO Python API
OpenVINO Python API is a part of the OpenVINO library. The component is responsible for:
- Bindings of OpenVINO - allowing users to use the OpenVINO library in their Python code. Python API provides bindings to basic and advanced APIs from OpenVINO Runtime.
- Extending OpenVINO with pythonic features - on top of direct translations from C++, Python API component:
- Adds specific extensions to support numpy-based data.
- Provides support for external frameworks inputs.
- Provides shortcuts and helpers with more pythonic design.
- Allows to apply advanced concepts, like shared memory, to take full advantage of OpenVINO.
OpenVINO Python API uses the common codestyle checks which are adjusted to project needs.
