einops: Readable Tensor Operations in Python

The story

What the video said

You’re building an app that works with arrays of numbers, and you want to reshape and reorder them, but the usual code is hard to read and easy to get wrong.

einops is an open source Python library that lets you write one short pattern string instead of many separate reshape and transpose calls.

You label each dimension with a short name, and the library works out the reshape, transpose, and reduce steps for you.

The project’s own demo shows einops rearrange code snippets above colorful blocks that show the array shapes, with a column listing the different array tools it works with.

So instead of messy reshape code, you get clear named patterns that work with many array tools.
