aidan-plenert-macdonald opened a new issue #9501: LSTM doesn't work with Symbols and HybridBlocks
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/9501
 
 
   I want to use LSTM with AWS SageMaker, but I am having [problems with Symbols](https://github.com/aws/sagemaker-python-sdk/issues/51). I noticed that LSTM seems to make not attempt at using the HybridBlock pattern. For [example](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/master/python/mxnet/gluon/rnn/rnn_layer.py#L173), it only defines a forward method that inherently can't be used with Symbols,
   
   ```python
       def forward(self, inputs, states=None):
           batch_size = inputs.shape[self._layout.find('N')]
           skip_states = states is None
           if skip_states:
   ```
   
   Before I go about trying to fix this, I wanted to check if there were known issues, plans to fix it, or existing work done to fix this. Has any effort been made on this?
