This commit adds several new nodes to enable flexible typing and conversion between types:
- ValueToAny - Converts primitive values like ints, floats, strings, bools to Any type
- IterableToAny - Converts iterable values like lists, dicts to Any
- CallableToAny - Converts callables like functions to Any
- ObjectToAny - Converts tensor objects like images, latents etc to Any
The motivation is to allow passing different types flexibly into functions using Any typing. This enables writing functions in a more generic way by accepting Any instead of specific types.
The nodes convert the input values to Any and return debug info on what was converted. This allows tracing what types entered a function even if the function uses generic Any types.
No breaking changes, new nodes added:
- ValueToAny
- IterableToAny
- CallableToAny
- ObjectToAny
These provide building blocks for more flexible typing, opening up possibilities like:
- Writing utility and processing functions accepting Any instead of specific types
- Calling functions dynamically with values of different types
- Tracing and logging what types passed through a function
Next steps could include AnyToValue nodes, more specialized Any converters, and exploring uses for generic functions.
started creating whisper transcription node
modified how imports are handled to avoid importing the same moduels twice under different name spaces.
added basic.py to house simple functions that work on primitives.
NOTE: this update relies on change to /web/extensions that are not included in this commit, a future commit will include an install process for these changes.
