The idea is to use a wrapper around the backpack package. That way, whenever there are changes in the library, we only need to adjust the wrapper and not all occurrences in the code.
It should also help with importing dynamically and not be used whenever the fishr trainer is not in use.
Another option would be to refrain from using a wrapper and import backpack directly into the functions that use it by adding this directly to 'cal_dict_variance_grads' in:
backpack = importlib.import_module('backpack') extend = importlib.import_module('backpack.extend') Variance = importlib.import_module('backpack.extensions').Variance
