The PyTorch 2.x compiler is a significant advancement in accelerating deep learning programs by optimizing the execution of models at the Python bytecode level. However, this can make the compiler appear as an opaque box to researchers who wish to understand its inner workings. To address this, depyf is introduced as a tool to demystify the PyTorch compiler. It decompiles the bytecode back into equivalent source code, allowing researchers to step through the code line by line using debuggers. This enhances the understanding of the underlying processes and aids in debugging and optimization. Depyf is non-intrusive and user-friendly, relying on context managers for its core functionality. It is part of the PyTorch ecosystem and is openly available for the community to contribute and improve.
