7  Original code is unusable

After installing Python and TensorFlow I was ready to run some code.

The MedGAN paper provides the souce code in a GitHub repository here and my first idea was to reuse that.

I cloned the repo on my local machine and I started changing it to be able to ingest my initial data. I removed the CMD listener found in the script and transform my R data into a Numpy matrix.

Finally I tried running the script but I soon found a sad reality: the script was built using TensorFlow V1.
I tried disabling eager execution but to no avail: I was then made aware that to run this script I would have needed to update possibly many of its functions to their newer V2 versions which might be retroactively compatible.

This is what I feared would have happened

I then decided to find another, more recent, implementation of the MedGAN network, possibly implemented by a third party.
I searched trough forks with updated code but to no avail.

I then made an extensive search on GitHub and found this repository: Benchmarking framework of synthetic electronic health record generation models.
Inside the repo there is a file containing the MedGAN network and I decided it would have been easier to update that script since it was much more recent than the previous one.
