class DataFeeder(DataProviderConverter):
    """
    DataFeeder converts the data returned by paddle.reader into a data structure
    of Arguments which is defined in the API. The paddle.reader usually returns
    a list of mini-batch data entries. Each data entry in the list is one sample.
    Each sample is a list or a tuple with one feature or multiple features.
    DataFeeder converts this mini-batch data entries into Arguments in order
    to feed it to C++ interface.
    
    The simple usage shows below

    ..  code-block:: python

        feeding = ['image', 'label']
        data_types = enumerate_data_types_of_data_layers(topology)
        feeder = DataFeeder(data_types=data_types, feeding=feeding)

        minibatch_data = [([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, ...], 5)]

        arg = feeder(minibatch_data)


    If mini-batch data and data layers are not one to one mapping, we
    could pass a dictionary to feeding parameter to represent the mapping
    relationship.


    ..  code-block:: python

        data_types = [('image', paddle.data_type.dense_vector(784)),
                      ('label', paddle.data_type.integer_value(10))]
        feeding = {'image':0, 'label':1}
        feeder = DataFeeder(data_types=data_types, feeding=feeding)
        minibatch_data = [
                           ( [1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0], 5, [6,7,8] ),  # first sample
                           ( [1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0], 5, [6,7,8] )   # second sample
                         ]
        # or minibatch_data = [
        #                       [ [1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0], 5, [6,7,8] ],  # first sample
        #                       [ [1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0], 5, [6,7,8] ]   # second sample
        #                     ]
