"""The superclass for the manager-based workflow reinforcement learning-based environments.
This class inherits from :class:`ManagerBasedEnv` and implements the core functionality for
reinforcement learning-based environments. It is designed to be used with any RL
library. The class is designed to be used with vectorized environments, i.e., the
environment is expected to be run in parallel with multiple sub-environments. The
number of sub-environments is specified using the ``num_envs``.
Each observation from the environment is a batch of observations for each sub-
environments. The method :meth:`step` is also expected to receive a batch of actions
for each sub-environment.
While the environment itself is implemented as a vectorized environment, we do not
inherit from :class:`gym.vector.VectorEnv`. This is mainly because the class adds
various methods (for wait and asynchronous updates) which are not required.
Additionally, each RL library typically has its own definition for a vectorized
environment. Thus, to reduce complexity, we directly use the :class:`gym.Env` over
here and leave it up to library-defined wrappers to take care of wrapping this
environment for their agents.
Note:
For vectorized environments, it is recommended to **only** call the :meth:`reset`
method once before the first call to :meth:`step`, i.e. after the environment is created.
After that, the :meth:`step` function handles the reset of terminated sub-environments.
This is because the simulator does not support resetting individual sub-environments
in a vectorized environment.
