class Variable(object):
  """See the [Variables How To](../../how_tos/variables/index.md) for a high
  level overview.

  A variable maintains state in the graph across calls to `run()`. You add a
  variable to the graph by constructing an instance of the class `Variable`.

  The `Variable()` constructor requires an initial value for the variable,
  which can be a `Tensor` of any type and shape. The initial value defines the
  type and shape of the variable. After construction, the type and shape of
  the variable are fixed. The value can be changed using one of the assign
  methods.

  If you want to change the shape of a variable later you have to use an
  `assign` Op with `validate_shape=False`.

  Just like any `Tensor`, variables created with `Variable()` can be used as
  inputs for other Ops in the graph. Additionally, all the operators
  overloaded for the `Tensor` class are carried over to variables, so you can
  also add nodes to the graph by just doing arithmetic on variables.

  ```python
  import tensorflow as tf

  # Create a variable.
  w = tf.Variable(<initial-value>, name=<optional-name>)

  # Use the variable in the graph like any Tensor.
  y = tf.matmul(w, ...another variable or tensor...)

  # The overloaded operators are available too.
  z = tf.sigmoid(w + y)

  # Assign a new value to the variable with `assign()` or a related method.
  w.assign(w + 1.0)
  w.assign_add(1.0)
  ```

  When you launch the graph, variables have to be explicitly initialized before
  you can run Ops that use their value. You can initialize a variable by
  running its *initializer op*, restoring the variable from a save file, or
  simply running an `assign` Op that assigns a value to the variable. In fact,
  the variable *initializer op* is just an `assign` Op that assigns the
  variable's initial value to the variable itself.

  ```python
  # Launch the graph in a session.
  with tf.Session() as sess:
      # Run the variable initializer.
      sess.run(w.initializer)
      # ...you now can run ops that use the value of 'w'...
  ```

  The most common initialization pattern is to use the convenience function
  `initialize_all_variables()` to add an Op to the graph that initializes
  all the variables. You then run that Op after launching the graph.

  ```python
  # Add an Op to initialize all variables.
  init_op = tf.initialize_all_variables()

  # Launch the graph in a session.
  with tf.Session() as sess:
      # Run the Op that initializes all variables.
      sess.run(init_op)
      # ...you can now run any Op that uses variable values...
  ```

  If you need to create a variable with an initial value dependent on another
  variable, use the other variable's `initialized_value()`. This ensures that
  variables are initialized in the right order.

  All variables are automatically collected in the graph where they are
  created. By default, the constructor adds the new variable to the graph
  collection `GraphKeys.VARIABLES`. The convenience function
  `all_variables()` returns the contents of that collection.

  When building a machine learning model it is often convenient to distinguish
  betwen variables holding the trainable model parameters and other variables
  such as a `global step` variable used to count training steps. To make this
  easier, the variable constructor supports a `trainable=<bool>` parameter. If
  `True`, the new variable is also added to the graph collection
  `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES`. The convenience function
  `trainable_variables()` returns the contents of this collection. The
  various `Optimizer` classes use this collection as the default list of
  variables to optimize.

    """Creates a new variable with value `initial_value`.

    The new variable is added to the graph collections listed in `collections`,
    which defaults to `[GraphKeys.VARIABLES]`.

    If `trainable` is `True` the variable is also added to the graph collection
    `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES`.

    This constructor creates both a `variable` Op and an `assign` Op to set the
    variable to its initial value.

    Args:
      initial_value: A `Tensor`, or Python object convertible to a `Tensor`,
        which is the initial value for the Variable. The initial value must have
        a shape specified unless `validate_shape` is set to False. Can also be a
        callable with no argument that returns the initial value when called. In
        that case, `dtype` must be specified. (Note that initializer functions
        from init_ops.py must first be bound to a shape before being used here.)
      trainable: If `True`, the default, also adds the variable to the graph
        collection `GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES`. This collection is used as
        the default list of variables to use by the `Optimizer` classes.
      collections: List of graph collections keys. The new variable is added to
        these collections. Defaults to `[GraphKeys.VARIABLES]`.
      validate_shape: If `False`, allows the variable to be initialized with a
        value of unknown shape. If `True`, the default, the shape of
        `initial_value` must be known.
      caching_device: Optional device string describing where the Variable
        should be cached for reading.  Defaults to the Variable's device.
        If not `None`, caches on another device.  Typical use is to cache
        on the device where the Ops using the Variable reside, to deduplicate
        copying through `Switch` and other conditional statements.
      name: Optional name for the variable. Defaults to `'Variable'` and gets
        uniquified automatically.
      variable_def: `VariableDef` protocol buffer. If not `None`, recreates
        the Variable object with its contents. `variable_def` and the other
        arguments are mutually exclusive.
      dtype: If set, initial_value will be converted to the given type.
        If `None`, either the datatype will be kept (if `initial_value` is
        a Tensor), or `convert_to_tensor` will decide.

    Returns:
      A Variable.

      ValueError: If both `variable_def` and initial_value are specified.
