🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch

PyTorch now supports Python 3.8+ only.

But there are still many legacy Python syntaxes in the codebase. Such as:

Redundant object inherence:

- class A(object):
+ class A:
      ...

super call:

  class A:
      pass

  class B(A):
      def __init__(self):
-         super(B, self).__init__()
+         super().__init__()

string format:

- '%s' % x
+ f"{x}"
- '{}'.format(x)
+ f"{x}"

There is a tool pyupgrade that can automatically update the code. The migration can be easily done by:

pyupgraede --py38-plus $(find torch -name '*.py' -o -name '*.pyi')
lintrunner -a

It would be nice if you consider pre-commit integration to apply this for future code changes.
