Where is the `torch.empty` defined?

(I am not a Python veteran so pardon me if this is a naive question.)



Following the PyTorch tutorial, below code works fine.



import torch
x= torch.empty(5,3) # <========= HERE
print(x)


But the Visual Studio Code complains that:




E1101:Module 'torch' has no 'empty' member




Eclipse PyDev has a similar warning.



So I use below code to check what torch offers:



for (k, v) in torch.__dict__.items():
print(k, v)


And I find that it is a built-in:



empty <built-in method empty of type object at 0x00007FFA380E0A80>


Since it is a method, I searched all the *.py file in the torch package folder for something like def empty and empty, no luck.



So where is this empty method defined? Some pyd/DLL?



How is it imported into the namespace?



Or put it another way, how to create a built-in function for my own package?

I guess it's the torch::empty method. I have found a lot of matches in the github PyTorch codebase. But I haven't nailed the definition yet.
