Pytorch dataloader cannot compute length

[njellinas]

I have prepared a dataset with Cuts as mentioned in the tutorial:

recs = CutSet(...)
trainset = lhotse.dataset.unsupervised.UnsupervisedWaveformDataset(recs)
sampler = lhotse.dataset.sampling.SimpleCutSampler(recs, max_cuts=16, shuffle=True)
trainloader = DataLoader(trainset, sampler=sampler, batch_size=None)

I want a batch_size=16 so I have defined the max_cuts argument. But, when I calculate for my training loop the total number of iterations as len(trainloader), I get the error TypeError: object of type 'SimpleCutSampler' has no len().
When I define my own samplers without lhotse there is always a method len that calculates the total number of batches, is this not implemented here?

You seem to have a very outdated example, I see now that I missed a few places to update in the docs.

Samplers don't support len() because of dynamic batch sizes in lhotse. In the general case, you can't know the exact number of iterations up-front.
