poli.core.abstract_isolated_function#
Abstract implementation for isolated logic.
This module contains the implementation of an abstract isolated function. Isolated functions allow you to implement complex, heavily-dependent objective functions inside isolated processes, which can be run in their own conda environments. This is useful for running objective functions that have dependencies that are not compatible with the dependencies of the main process (e.g. your optimizers, or observers).
AbstractIsolatedFunctions are only expected to implement the __call__ method. This method will (usually) be used to evaluate the function inside the _black_box(x, context) method of black box.
Diving deeper, these isolated functions are used in the ExternalFunction class, which maintains a communication with an isolated process running the external_isolated_function_script.py script.
