This is awesome! Maybe we shouldn't have fixed the doc around this haha.

well, unless we define the dict type like Dict[str, Any] it does not matter :]

Correct me if I'm wrong. This does NOT solve #977. The discussion there is not over. As far as I can see this PR does not address the issue we have with restoring the hparams. This pr also adds other changes unrelated to hparams, why?

setters in python should be done with @hparams.setter decorator, no?

can you in decorator define types?

@hparams.setter
def hparams(self, params: Union[Dict[str, Any], Namespace]):
    self._hparams = params

This should work. However, it does not enforce the types. The user can still pass in whatever it wants.

@Borda I see a small edge case (maybe).

def __init__(params):
    self.myparams = params  # the user does not set self.params
    # later in code ...
    self.myparams['batch_size']  # the user works with a dict. Not allowed!

user trains model ...
user wants to load the checkpoint now:
model = MyLightningModule.load_from_checkpoint(...) # this will pass in an empty Namespace to the module, because the checkpoint contains empty hparams Namespace
The model will not work. I guess this problem already existed before, but I think there was a warning when hparams was not set.

great job guys! let's wrap this up in the next few hours so we can do the release. this is the last PR holding this up

@awaelchli I see a solution to have self._hparams as dict always and property self.hparams as Namespace so it does not break anything and if you need you may do

self.hparams.batch_size
self._hparams['batch_size']

Yes, that's one way. It would also mean from now on self.hparams is always going to be a Namespace, and it would break exising code bases where they had a dict or something else. Is this acceptable?

@williamFalcon Yes there should probably a save and load test with dict.
However, the user can always break the system, for example when accessing the arg before setting sefl.hparams = arg it could lead to typeerror.

this code forces a load as namespace. if the user model defined a dictionary then it would break no? because the user would access hparams[“arg”] but since we always force a namespace that would crash?

@williamFalcon if you want that behaviour I see no way around pickeling the whole hparams object or saving the type with it as I suggested in #943 . Otherwise at load time we have no way of telling the type the user chose.

checkpoint['hparams'] = vars(model.hparams)
is_namespace = isinstance(model.hparams, Namespace)
checkpoint['hparams'] = vars(model.hparams) if is_namespace else model.hparams
checkpont['hparams_type'] = 'namespaces' if is_namespace else 'dict'

how does that address your concern about hparams[".." ] access? load_from_checkpoint will pass a Namespace to Lightningmodule.

well I would rather stay with the fixed interface - hparams as Namespace property and setter
