Python slice value cannot be used as a value:

I am trying to convert a custom model which is a little bit complicated to TorchScript. Converting nn.Modules are okay, but some pure Python functions are giving errors. One of them is that I’m uploading now.

Cannot script Python slice value.

Here I’m uploading only one function as it can be run separately. Please refer to this link for the full model code.

                                    w: int,
                                    window_size_h: int,
                                    window_size_w: int,
                                    shift_size_h: int,

    cnt = 0
    for h in h_slices:
        for w in w_slices:
            img_mask[:, h, w, :] = cnt
            cnt += 1

    mask_windows = split_feature(img_mask, num_splits=w // window_size_w, channel_last=True)

    mask_windows = mask_windows.view(-1, window_size_h * window_size_w)
    attn_mask = mask_windows.unsqueeze(1) - mask_windows.unsqueeze(2)
    attn_mask = attn_mask.masked_fill(attn_mask != 0, float(-100.0)).masked_fill(attn_mask == 0, float(0.0))

    return attn_mask
