Docs for non-cli usage

[shatz01]

Thanks for the great lib!

My only gripe is that the documentation and tutorials only show how to use this lib as a cli. I want to do some very custom stuff in the future so id like to use it as python code.

Are there any tutorials for doing so? If not, may I know why its only meant to be used as a CLI?

good point! @lantiga let’s add this to our queue. i agree docs on how to do your own pretraining, etc are useful

Yes! Happy to help out! I can make some beginner notebooks or something. Any direction for where to start? @williamFalcon

Ive made a few small contributions to lightning in the past :)
