Description

in test/test_functional_tensor.py we have

@pytest.mark.parametrize('device', cpu_and_gpu())
def test_equalize(device):
    torch.set_deterministic(False)
    check_functional_vs_PIL_vs_scripted(
        F.equalize,
        F_pil.equalize,
        F_t.equalize,
        {},
        device,
        dtype=None,
        tol=1.0,
        agg_method="max",
    )

This usage of set_deterministic is an antipattern, as this setting will leak out to all subsequent tests. Can this be deleted? Or barring that, the setting of the value made temporary (e.g., via a context manager?)

Research direction

Start in test/test_functional_tensor.py at test_equalize and review the existing torch.set_deterministic call. Done means the test no longer leaks deterministic state to subsequent tests while the existing equalize test continues to pass.
