"""Base class for vectorized environments to run multiple independent copies of the same environment in parallel.
Vector environments can provide a linear speed-up in the steps taken per second through sampling multiple
sub-environments at the same time. Gymnasium contains two generalised Vector environments: :class:`AsyncVectorEnv`
and :class:`SyncVectorEnv` along with several custom vector environment implementations.
For :func:`reset` and :func:`step` batches `observations`, `rewards`, `terminations`, `truncations` and
`info` for each sub-environment, see the example below. For the `rewards`, `terminations`, and `truncations`,
the data is packaged into a NumPy array of shape `(num_envs,)`. For `observations` (and `actions`, the batching
process is dependent on the type of observation (and action) space, and generally optimised for neural network
input/outputs. For `info`, the data is kept as a dictionary such that a key will give the data for all sub-environment.
For creating environments, :func:`make_vec` is a vector environment equivalent to :func:`make` for easily creating
vector environments that contains several unique arguments for modifying environment qualities, number of environment,
vectorizer type, vectorizer arguments.
Note:
The info parameter of :meth:`reset` and :meth:`step` was originally implemented before v0.25 as a list
of dictionary for each sub-environment. However, this was modified in v0.25+ to be a dictionary with a NumPy
array for each key. To use the old info style, utilise the :class:`DictInfoToList` wrapper.
Examples:
>>> import gymnasium as gym
>>> envs = gym.make_vec("CartPole-v1", num_envs=3, vectorization_mode="sync", wrappers=(gym.wrappers.TimeAwareObservation,))
>>> envs = gym.wrappers.vector.ClipReward(envs, min_reward=0.2, max_reward=0.8)

To avoid having to wait for all sub-environments to terminated before resetting, implementations will autoreset
sub-environments on episode end (`terminated or truncated is True`). As a result, when adding observations
to a replay buffer, this requires a knowning where the observation (and info) for each sub-environment are the first
observation from an autoreset. We recommend using an additional variable to store this information.
The Vector Environments have the additional attributes for users to understand the implementation
- :attr:`num_envs` - The number of sub-environment in the vector environment
- :attr:`observation_space` - The batched observation space of the vector environment
- :attr:`single_observation_space` - The observation space of a single sub-environment
- :attr:`action_space` - The batched action space of the vector environment
- :attr:`single_action_space` - The action space of a single sub-environment
