GPU (cuda) support under WSL

Is it the case that using pytorch with Cuda support under WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is currently impossible, as suggested by someone near the bottom of this thread? https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/6098

Hi,

As pointed out in the thread, the problem is that the WSL itself does not support GPU (issue tracked here) so there is nothing we can do until this is done.

There I share a hacky way to enable CUDA with WSL http://www.erogol.com/using-windows-wsl-for-deep-learning-development/

Is the gist to use a windows python install from within the WSL?
