if isinstance(root, torch._six.string_classes):

这行代码是用来检查变量 root 是否是字符串类型的。如果是字符串类型，则返回 True，否则返回 False。这里使用了 PyTorch 库中的 torch._six.string_classes，它是一个字符串类型的元组，包含了 Python 2 和 Python 3 中所有的字符串类型。这样做的好处是可以兼容 Python 2 和 Python 3 的字符串类型。

如何替代torch._six.string_classes

在PyTorch 1.9.0及以上版本中，可以使用以下代码替代`torch._six.string_classes`：

import collections.abc

if isinstance('abc', collections.abc.Sequence):
    # do something

在PyTorch 1.8.0及以下版本中，可以使用以下代码替代`torch._six.string_classes`：

if isinstance('abc', (str, bytes)):
    # do something

how to import torch._six.string_classes in torch 2.0

As an AI language model, I do not have access to the specific implementation details of torch 2.0. However, in general, to import torch._six.string_classes in any version of torch, you can simply use the following line of code:

from torch._six import string_classes

Then, you can use the `string_classes` variable to check if a given variable is a string, like this:

if isinstance(my_var, string_classes):
    # do something
else:
    # do something else

Note that using internal modules like `torch._six` is generally discouraged, as they are not part of the public API and may change or be removed in future versions of torch. It is recommended to use the officially documented modules and functions whenever possible.
