    If a variable with the given name is already stored, we return the stored

    Set `reuse` to `True` when you only want to reuse existing Variables.
    Set `reuse` to `False` when you only want to create new Variables.
    Set `reuse` to None (the default) or tf.AUTO_REUSE when you want
    variables to be created if they don't exist or returned if they do.

    If initializer is `None` (the default), the default initializer passed in
    the constructor is used. If that one is `None` too, we use a new
    `glorot_uniform_initializer`. If initializer is a Tensor, we use
    it as a value and derive the shape from the initializer.

    If a partitioner is provided, a `PartitionedVariable` is returned.
    Accessing this object as a `Tensor` returns the shards concatenated along
    the partition axis.

    Some useful partitioners are available.  See, e.g.,
    `variable_axis_size_partitioner` and `min_max_variable_partitioner`.

    Args:
      name: The name of the new or existing variable.
      shape: Shape of the new or existing variable.
      dtype: Type of the new or existing variable (defaults to `DT_FLOAT`).
      initializer: Initializer for the variable.
      regularizer: A (Tensor -> Tensor or None) function; the result of
        applying it on a newly created variable will be added to the collection
        GraphKeys.REGULARIZATION_LOSSES and can be used for regularization.
      reuse: a Boolean, None, or tf.AUTO_REUSE. Controls reuse or creation
        of variables. When eager execution is enabled  this argument is always
        forced to be False.
      trainable: If `True` also add the variable to the graph collection
        `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES` (see `tf.Variable`).
      collections: List of graph collections keys to add the `Variable` to.
        Defaults to `[GraphKeys.GLOBAL_VARIABLES]` (see `tf.Variable`).
      caching_device: Optional device string or function describing where the
        Variable should be cached for reading.  Defaults to the Variable's
        device.  If not `None`, caches on another device.  Typical use is to
        cache on the device where the Ops using the `Variable` reside, to
        deduplicate copying through `Switch` and other conditional statements.
      partitioner: Optional callable that accepts a fully defined `TensorShape`
        and dtype of the `Variable` to be created, and returns a list of
        partitions for each axis (currently only one axis can be partitioned).
      validate_shape: If False, allows the variable to be initialized with a
        value of unknown shape. If True, the default, the shape of initial_value
        must be known.
      use_resource: If False, creates a regular Variable. If True, creates
        instead an experimental ResourceVariable which has well-defined
        semantics. Defaults to False (will later change to True).
        When eager execution is enabled this argument is always forced to be
        true.
      custom_getter: Callable that takes as a first argument the true getter,
        and allows overwriting the internal get_variable method.
        The signature of `custom_getter` should match that of this method,
        but the most future-proof version will allow for changes:
        `def custom_getter(getter, *args, **kwargs)`.  Direct access to
        all `get_variable` parameters is also allowed:
        `def custom_getter(getter, name, *args, **kwargs)`.  A simple identity
        custom getter that simply creates variables with modified names is:
        ```python
        def custom_getter(getter, name, *args, **kwargs):
          return getter(name + '_suffix', *args, **kwargs)
        ```
      constraint: An optional projection function to be applied to the variable
        after being updated by an `Optimizer` (e.g. used to implement norm
        constraints or value constraints for layer weights). The function must
        take as input the unprojected Tensor representing the value of the
        variable and return the Tensor for the projected value
        (which must have the same shape). Constraints are not safe to
        use when doing asynchronous distributed training.

    Returns:
      The created or existing `Variable` (or `PartitionedVariable`, if a
      partitioner was used).

    Raises:
      ValueError: when creating a new variable and shape is not declared,
        when reusing a variable and specifying a conflicting shape,
        or when violating reuse during variable creation.

    The `partitioner` must be a callable that accepts a fully defined
    `TensorShape` and returns a sequence of integers (the `partitions`).
    These integers describe how to partition the given sharded `Variable`
    along the given dimension.  That is, `partitions[1] = 3` means split
    the `Variable` into 3 shards along dimension 1.  Currently, sharding along
    only one axis is supported.

    If the list of variables with the given name (prefix) is already stored,
    we return the stored variables. Otherwise, we create a new one.

    Set `reuse` to `True` when you only want to reuse existing Variables.
    Set `reuse` to `False` when you only want to create new Variables.
    Set `reuse` to None (the default) or tf.AUTO_REUSE when you want
    variables to be created if they don't exist or returned if they do.

    If initializer is `None` (the default), the default initializer passed in
    the constructor is used. If that one is `None` too, we use a new
    `glorot_uniform_initializer`. If initializer is a Tensor, we use
    it as a value and derive the shape from the initializer.

    If the initializer is a callable, then it will be called for each
    shard.  Otherwise the initializer should match the shape of the entire
    sharded Variable, and it will be sliced accordingly for each shard.

    Some useful partitioners are available.  See, e.g.,
    `variable_axis_size_partitioner` and `min_max_variable_partitioner`.

      name: the name of the new or existing sharded variable.
      partitioner: Optional callable that accepts a fully defined `TensorShape`
        and `dtype` of the Variable to be created, and returns a list of
        partitions for each axis (currently only one axis can be partitioned).
      shape: shape of the new or existing sharded variable.
      dtype: type of the new or existing sharded variable
        (defaults to `DT_FLOAT`).
      initializer: initializer for the sharded variable.
      regularizer: a (Tensor -> Tensor or None) function; the result of
        applying it on a newly created variable will be added to the collection
        GraphKeys.REGULARIZATION_LOSSES and can be used for regularization.
      reuse: a Boolean, None, or tf.AUTO_REUSE. Controls reuse or creation
        of variables.
      trainable: If `True` also add the variable to the graph collection
        `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES` (see `tf.Variable`).
      collections: List of graph collections keys to add the Variable to.
        Defaults to `[GraphKeys.GLOBAL_VARIABLES]` (see `tf.Variable`).
      caching_device: Optional device string or function describing where the
        Variable should be cached for reading.  Defaults to the Variable's
        device.  If not `None`, caches on another device.  Typical use is to
        cache on the device where the Ops using the Variable reside, to
        deduplicate copying through `Switch` and other conditional statements.
      validate_shape: If False, allows the variable to be initialized with a
        value of unknown shape. If True, the default, the shape of initial_value
        must be known.
      use_resource: If False, creates a regular Variable. If True, creates an
        experimental ResourceVariable which has well-defined semantics. Defaults
        to False (will later change to True).
      constraint: An optional projection function to be applied to the variable
        after being updated by an `Optimizer` (e.g. used to implement norm
        constraints or value constraints for layer weights). The function must
        take as input the unprojected Tensor representing the value of the
        variable and return the Tensor for the projected value
        (which must have the same shape). Constraints are not safe to
        use when doing asynchronous distributed training.

    Returns:
      A `PartitionedVariable` object.

    Raises:
      ValueError: when creating a new variable and shape is not declared,
        when reusing a variable and specifying a conflicting shape,
        when violating reuse during variable creation, or if an existing
        sharded variable exists for the given name but with different sharding.

%sThis function prefixes the name with the current variable scope
and performs reuse checks. See the
@{$variables$Variable Scope How To}
for an extensive description of how reusing works. Here is a basic example:

```python
def foo():
  with tf.variable_scope("foo", reuse=tf.AUTO_REUSE):
    v = tf.get_variable("v", [1])
  return v

v1 = foo()  # Creates v.
v2 = foo()  # Gets the same, existing v.
assert v1 == v2
```

If initializer is `None` (the default), the default initializer passed in
the variable scope will be used. If that one is `None` too, a
`glorot_uniform_initializer` will be used. The initializer can also be
a Tensor, in which case the variable is initialized to this value and shape.

Similarly, if the regularizer is `None` (the default), the default regularizer
passed in the variable scope will be used (if that is `None` too,
then by default no regularization is performed).

If a partitioner is provided, a `PartitionedVariable` is returned.
Accessing this object as a `Tensor` returns the shards concatenated along
the partition axis.

Some useful partitioners are available.  See, e.g.,
`variable_axis_size_partitioner` and `min_max_variable_partitioner`.

Args:
  name: The name of the new or existing variable.
  shape: Shape of the new or existing variable.
  dtype: Type of the new or existing variable (defaults to `DT_FLOAT`).
  initializer: Initializer for the variable if one is created.
  regularizer: A (Tensor -> Tensor or None) function; the result of
    applying it on a newly created variable will be added to the collection
    @{tf.GraphKeys.REGULARIZATION_LOSSES} and can be used for regularization.
  %scollections: List of graph collections keys to add the Variable to.
    Defaults to `[%s]` (see `tf.Variable`).
  caching_device: Optional device string or function describing where the
    Variable should be cached for reading.  Defaults to the Variable's
    device.  If not `None`, caches on another device.  Typical use is to
    cache on the device where the Ops using the Variable reside, to
    deduplicate copying through `Switch` and other conditional statements.
  partitioner: Optional callable that accepts a fully defined `TensorShape`
    and `dtype` of the Variable to be created, and returns a list of
    partitions for each axis (currently only one axis can be partitioned).
  validate_shape: If False, allows the variable to be initialized with a
      value of unknown shape. If True, the default, the shape of initial_value
      must be known.
  use_resource: If False, creates a regular Variable. If true, creates an
    experimental ResourceVariable instead with well-defined semantics.
    Defaults to False (will later change to True). When eager execution is
    enabled this argument is always forced to be True.
  custom_getter: Callable that takes as a first argument the true getter, and
    allows overwriting the internal get_variable method.
    The signature of `custom_getter` should match that of this method,
    but the most future-proof version will allow for changes:
    `def custom_getter(getter, *args, **kwargs)`.  Direct access to
    all `get_variable` parameters is also allowed:
    `def custom_getter(getter, name, *args, **kwargs)`.  A simple identity
    custom getter that simply creates variables with modified names is:
    ```python
    def custom_getter(getter, name, *args, **kwargs):
      return getter(name + '_suffix', *args, **kwargs)
    ```

Returns:
  The created or existing `Variable` (or `PartitionedVariable`, if a
  partitioner was used).

Raises:
  ValueError: when creating a new variable and shape is not declared,
    when violating reuse during variable creation, or when `initializer` dtype
    and `dtype` don't match. Reuse is set inside `variable_scope`.

  The `partitioner` must be a callable that accepts a fully defined
  `TensorShape` and returns a sequence of integers (the `partitions`).
  These integers describe how to partition the given sharded `Variable`
  along the given dimension.  That is, `partitions[1] = 3` means split
  the `Variable` into 3 shards along dimension 1.  Currently, sharding along
  only one axis is supported.

  If the list of variables with the given name (prefix) is already stored,
  we return the stored variables. Otherwise, we create a new one.

  If initializer is `None` (the default), the default initializer passed in
  the constructor is used. If that one is `None` too, we use a new
  `glorot_uniform_initializer`. If initializer is a Tensor, we use
  it as a value and derive the shape from the initializer.

  If the initializer is a callable, then it will be called for each
  shard.  Otherwise the initializer should match the shape of the entire
  sharded Variable, and it will be sliced accordingly for each shard.

  Some useful partitioners are available.  See, e.g.,
  `variable_axis_size_partitioner` and `min_max_variable_partitioner`.

  Args:
    name: The name of the new or existing variable.

      GraphKeys.REGULARIZATION_LOSSES and can be used for regularization.
    trainable: If `True` also add the variable to the graph collection
      `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES` (see `tf.Variable`).
    collections: List of graph collections keys to add the Variable to.
      Defaults to `[GraphKeys.GLOBAL_VARIABLES]` (see `tf.Variable`).
    caching_device: Optional device string or function describing where the
      Variable should be cached for reading.  Defaults to the Variable's
      device.  If not `None`, caches on another device.  Typical use is to
      cache on the device where the Ops using the Variable reside, to

    partitioner: Optional callable that accepts a fully defined `TensorShape`

    validate_shape: If False, allows the variable to be initialized with a
        value of unknown shape. If True, the default, the shape of initial_value
        must be known.
    use_resource: If False, creates a regular Variable. If True, creates an
      experimental ResourceVariable instead which has well-defined semantics.
      Defaults to False (will later change to True).
    constraint: An optional projection function to be applied to the variable
      after being updated by an `Optimizer` (e.g. used to implement norm
      constraints or value constraints for layer weights). The function must
      take as input the unprojected Tensor representing the value of the
      variable and return the Tensor for the projected value
      (which must have the same shape). Constraints are not safe to
      use when doing asynchronous distributed training.

  Returns:
    A tuple `(shards, partitions)` where `shards` is the list of `Variable`
    shards and `partitions` is the output of the partitioner on the input
    shape.

  Raises:

  """A context manager for defining ops that creates variables (layers).

  This context manager validates that the (optional) `values` are from the same
  graph, ensures that graph is the default graph, and pushes a name scope and a
  variable scope.

  If `name_or_scope` is not None, it is used as is. If `scope` is None, then
  `default_name` is used.  In that case, if the same name has been previously
  used in the same scope, it will be made unique by appending `_N` to it.

  Variable scope allows you to create new variables and to share already created
  ones while providing checks to not create or share by accident. For details,
  see the @{$variables$Variable Scope How To}, here we present only a few basic
  examples.

  Simple example of how to create a new variable:

  ```python
  with tf.variable_scope("foo"):
      with tf.variable_scope("bar"):
          v = tf.get_variable("v", [1])
          assert v.name == "foo/bar/v:0"
  ```

  Basic example of sharing a variable AUTO_REUSE:

  ```python
  def foo():
    with tf.variable_scope("foo", reuse=tf.AUTO_REUSE):
      v = tf.get_variable("v", [1])
    return v

  v1 = foo()  # Creates v.
  v2 = foo()  # Gets the same, existing v.
  assert v1 == v2


  Basic example of sharing a variable with reuse=True:

  ```python
  with tf.variable_scope("foo"):
      v = tf.get_variable("v", [1])
  with tf.variable_scope("foo", reuse=True):
      v1 = tf.get_variable("v", [1])
  assert v1 == v
  ```

  Sharing a variable by capturing a scope and setting reuse:

  ```python
  with tf.variable_scope("foo") as scope:
      v = tf.get_variable("v", [1])
      scope.reuse_variables()
      v1 = tf.get_variable("v", [1])
  assert v1 == v
  ```

  To prevent accidental sharing of variables, we raise an exception when getting
  an existing variable in a non-reusing scope.

  ```python
  with tf.variable_scope("foo"):
      v = tf.get_variable("v", [1])
      v1 = tf.get_variable("v", [1])
      #  Raises ValueError("... v already exists ...").
  ```

  Similarly, we raise an exception when trying to get a variable that does not
  exist in reuse mode.

  ```python
  with tf.variable_scope("foo", reuse=True):
      v = tf.get_variable("v", [1])
      #  Raises ValueError("... v does not exists ...").
  ```

  Note that the `reuse` flag is inherited: if we open a reusing scope, then all
  its sub-scopes become reusing as well.

  A note about name scoping: Setting `reuse` does not impact the naming of other
  ops such as mult. See related discussion on
  [github#6189](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/6189)

  Note that up to and including version 1.0, it was allowed (though explicitly
  discouraged) to pass False to the reuse argument, yielding undocumented
  behaviour slightly different from None. Starting at 1.1.0 passing None and
  False as reuse has exactly the same effect.
