tf.contrib.framework.nest.flatten(nested)
Defined in tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow_internal.py
.
Returns a flat list from a given nested structure.
If nest
is not a sequence, tuple, or dict, then returns a single-element
list: [nest]
.
In the case of dict instances, the sequence consists of the values, sorted by
key to ensure deterministic behavior. This is true also for OrderedDict
instances: their sequence order is ignored, the sorting order of keys is
used instead. The same convention is followed in pack_sequence_as
. This
correctly repacks dicts and OrderedDict
s after they have been flattened,
and also allows flattening an OrderedDict
and then repacking it back using
a corresponding plain dict, or vice-versa.
Dictionaries with non-sortable keys cannot be flattened.
Users must not modify any collections used in nest
while this function is
running.
Args:
nest
: an arbitrarily nested structure or a scalar object. Note, numpy arrays are considered scalars.
Returns:
A Python list, the flattened version of the input.
Raises:
TypeError
: The nest is or contains a dict with non-sortable keys.
