How to connect my custom Task or Agent without polluting source folders of ParlAI?

I have already read documentation http://parl.ai/static/docs/task_tutorial.html and http://parl.ai/static/docs/seq2seq_tutorial.html but still trying to find the way how could I use ParlAI in a convenient way. I don’t want to put my sources inside of ParlAI I need to hold them in my own git repository with the rest of my sources. Ideally I’d like to pip install parlai and extend its functionality with my custom classes as many other frameworks do, but without jumbling sources of my project and ParlAI project together.

Shortly: How to connect my custom Task or Agent without polluting source folders of ParlAI?

Feedback would be great–let us know how it works out!

One option is also that we could potentially modify the train_model.py loop (for example) to make it easier for you to call the main function from within your own script–that is to say, if you copy and pasted the entire file and found you only changed a line or two, we could possible make that a parameter so that it’s easier to just call that loop. This would set us up better for the pip install in the future.

Thanks!
