Unless you are working with standard data types (image folders, LMDB, etc),
you would usually want to write the base DataFlow (`MyDataFlow` in the above example) for your data format.
See [another tutorial](http://tensorpack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/extend/dataflow.html)
for details on writing a DataFlow.
for simple instructions on writing a DataFlow.
### Why DataFlow
1. It's easy: write everything in pure Python, and reuse existing utilities. On the contrary,
writing data loaders in TF operators is painful.
2. It's fast (enough): see [Input Pipeline tutorial](http://tensorpack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/input-source.html)
on how tensorpack handles data loading.
2. It's fast (enough): see [Efficient DataFlow](http://tensorpack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/efficient-dataflow.html)
on how to build a fast DataFlow.
Also see [Input Pipeline tutorial](http://tensorpack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/input-source.html)
on how tensorpack further accelerates data loading in the graph.
Nevertheless, tensorpack support data loading with native TF operators as well.
