Hey, I’m simply trying to save a vector of LibTorch (C++) tensors to file and then load those tensors back into PyTorch (Python) for post-processing reasons.
On the C++ side, I have the following sample code:
  const auto new_tensor = torch::rand({2, 3, 4});
  const auto new_tensor2 = torch::rand({1, 125, 13, 13});
  torch::save({new_tensor, new_tensor2}, "tensor_vector.pt");

I then copy the generated file into my python project directory and call the following script:
import torch  
tensors = torch.load('./tensor_vector.pt')

Which returns the following python error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\admin\.conda\envs\py37_torch\lib\tarfile.py", line 189, in nti
    n = int(s.strip() or "0", 8)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 8: 'ZZZZZZZZ'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

RuntimeError: ./tensor_vector.pt is a zip archive (did you mean to use torch.jit.load()?)

Additionally, If I instead try to use the jit torch package to load:
import torch  
tensors = torch.jit.load('./tensor_vector.pt')

Then I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/admin/PycharmProjects/TestProject/importLibtorchTensor.py", line 2, in <module>
    tensors = torch.jit.load('./tensor_vector.pt')

RuntimeError: INVALID_ARGUMENT:tensors[1]: Cannot find field. (deserialize at ..\torch\csrc\jit\import.cpp:95)
(no backtrace available)

Is there any way to save a C++ Libtorch tensor and load it in as Python Pytorch tensor? I don’t need to save/load entire models, just specific tensors.
