Ok I see. I didn't notice that. So ti.pyfunc could be treated as a normal Python function if called from Python-scope right ?

But ti.pyfunc can be called in Python-scope while ti.func can't. As a result, ti.pyfun still has advantage than ti.func.

So compared to ti.pyfunc, is ti.func rather served as a warning when users wanna make their program paralleled with ti.funcin Python-scope ?

Exactly, we want to confirm people know what they're doing by using pyfunc.

As a result, ti.pyfun still has advantage than ti.func.

In fact, pyfunc is not a public API at all, it was only mean to make funcs like ti.Vector.dot work in Python-scope too. End-users should use it on their own risk.

I see. Thanks for the reply! I am closing it now.
