RuntimeError: Unsupported qscheme: per_channel_affine

I explored the source code for utils.py for quantization module which can be found here:

def get_qparam_dict(observer_or_fake_quant):
    qscheme = observer_or_fake_quant.qscheme if hasattr(observer_or_fake_quant, "qscheme") else None
    dtype = observer_or_fake_quant.dtype
    qparams = {"qscheme": qscheme, "dtype": dtype}

    if not qscheme:
        return qparams

    if is_per_tensor(qscheme):
        qscheme = torch.per_tensor_affine
    elif is_per_channel(qscheme):
        # change symmetric to affine since we do not have symmetric
        # quantized Tensor
        if qscheme == torch.per_channel_symmetric:
            qscheme = torch.per_channel_affine
        qparams["axis"] = observer_or_fake_quant.ch_axis
    else:
        raise RuntimeError(f"Unrecognized qscheme: {qscheme}")
    # update qscheme, since we don't have symmetric quant qscheme
    # in quantized Tensor
    qparams["qscheme"] = qscheme

    scale, zero_point = observer_or_fake_quant.calculate_qparams()
    qparams["scale"] = scale
    qparams["zero_point"] = zero_point

    return qparams

Which doesnt seem to make sense since following the line

if qscheme == torch.per_channel_symmetric:
                qscheme = torch.per_channel_affine
            qparams["axis"] = observer_or_fake_quant.ch_axis
        else:
            raise RuntimeError(f"Unrecognized qscheme: {qscheme}")

The qscheme is passed as torch.per_channel_affine which is the qscheme it seems to raise the error again in the else clause, looking for any possible ideas on working around this.

the issue likely has less to do with symmetric vs affine and more to do with the per_channel piece. Perhaps with a clearer repro I could say more. However in general that tutorial was made by someone unassociated with the quantization team and it may not be updated regularly.
