In this Pull Request, in order to facilitate the dynamic update of pytorch_config.yaml (when calling
deeplabcut.train_network()), I:update_config_by_dotpath()method. This method is easier to use than the previousupdate_config(). Withupdate_config(), you needed to pass a nested dictionary as argument to target nested arguments in the pytorch_config.yaml, and it wasn't explicit how the nested dict was processed. Withupdate_config_by_dotpath(), you target nested arguments by using a single-level dictionary with dot-notation path access. For example to update thegpuslist in therunnersection, you pass{"runner.gpus": [0,1]}(instead ofdict(runner=dict(gpus=[0,1])))pytorch_cfg_updates: dictargument instead of using thekwargsintrain_network().train_network()(that were passed through thekwargsbefore) for more transparency, and remove thekwargsargument fromtrain_network().update_config_by_dotpath()method, update integration tests.
