class MainLoop(object):
    """The standard main loop of Blocks.

    In the `MainLoop` a model is trained by a training algorithm using data
    extracted from a data stream. This process is scrupulously documented
    in a log object.

    The `MainLoop` itself does very little: only fetching the data from the
    data stream and feeding it to the algorithm. It expects the extensions
    to do most of the job. A respective callback of every extension is
    called at every stage of training. The extensions should communicate
    between themselves and with the main loop object by means of making
    records in the log. For instance in order to stop the training
    procedure an extension can make a record
    `training_finish_requested=True` in the log. The main loop checks for
    such a record after every batch and every epoch and terminates when
    finds it.

    The `MainLoop` also handles interruption signal SIGINT for you (e.g.
    the one program receives when you press Ctrl + C). It notes this event
    in the log and at the next iteration or epoch end the main loop will
    be gracefully finished, with calling all necessary extension callbacks
    and waiting until they finish.

    Parameters
    ----------
    algorithm : instance of :class:`~blocks.algorithms.TrainingAlgorithm`
        The training algorithm.
    data_stream : instance of :class:`.DataStream`.
        The data stream. Should support :class:`AbstractDataStream`
        interface from Fuel.
    model : instance of :class:`.ComputationGraph`, optional
        An annotated computation graph, typically represented
        by :class:`ComputationGraph` or :class:`Model` object. The main
        loop object uses the model only for optional sanity checks, it is
        here mainly for the main loop extensions.
    log : instance of :class:`.TrainingLog`, optional
        The log. When not given, a :class:`.TrainingLog` is created.
    log_backend : str
        The backend to use for the log. Currently `python` and `sqlite` are
        available. If not given, `config.log_backend` will be used. Ignored
        if `log` is passed.
    extensions : list of :class:`.TrainingExtension` instances
        The training extensions. Will be called in the same order as given
        here.
