#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Extracts trainable parameters from Tensorflow models and stores them in numpy arrays.
Usage
    python tensorflow_data_extractor -m path_to_binary_checkpoint_file -n path_to_metagraph_file

Saves each variable to a {variable_name}.npy binary file.

Note that since Tensorflow version 0.11 the binary checkpoint file which contains the values for each parameter has the format of:
    {model_name}.data-{step}-of-{max_step}
instead of:
    {model_name}.ckpt
When dealing with binary files with version >= 0.11, only pass {model_name} to -m option;
when dealing with binary files with version < 0.11, pass the whole file name {model_name}.ckpt to -m option.

Also note that this script relies on the parameters to be extracted being in the
'trainable_variables' tensor collection. By default all variables are automatically added to this collection unless
specified otherwise by the user. Thus should a user alter this default behavior and/or want to extract parameters from other
collections, tf.GraphKeys.TRAINABLE_VARIABLES should be replaced accordingly.

Tested with Tensorflow 1.2, 1.3 on Python 2.7.6 and Python 3.4.3.
