Directly bind to Gluon #18

Closed jeffreyksmithjr closed 6 years ago

jeffreyksmithjr commented 6 years ago

The current approach for Gluon relies upon the Python Gluon API, but one of the large goals of the MXnet project is to be embedded in a wide range of host languages. This would probably entail lower-level code, but code remove some incidental complexity that stems from dealing with Python in an Elixir app.

While MXNet has a C API, which various languages bind to, Gluon is actually implemented at the Python level, so dealing with Python is necessary, if this project is going to use the high level API that Gluon provides.
