    Args:
        env_fn : A function which creates a copy of the environment.
            The environment must satisfy the OpenAI Gym API.

        actor_critic: The constructor method for a PyTorch Module with an ``act`` 
            method, a ``pi`` module, a ``q1`` module, and a ``q2`` module.
            The ``act`` method and ``pi`` module should accept batches of 
            observations as inputs, and ``q1`` and ``q2`` should accept a batch 
            of observations and a batch of actions as inputs. When called, 
            ``act``, ``q1``, and ``q2`` should return:

            Call         Output Shape      Description
            ===========  ================  ======================================
            ``act``      (batch, act_dim)  | Numpy array of actions for each 
                                           | observation.
            ``q1``       (batch,)          | Tensor containing one current estimate
                                           | of Q* for the provided observations
                                           | and actions. (Critical: make sure to
                                           | flatten this!)
            ``q2``       (batch,)          | Tensor containing the other current 
                                           | estimate of Q* for the provided observations
                                           | and actions. (Critical: make sure to

                                           | given observations.
            ``logp_pi``  (batch,)          | Tensor containing log probabilities of
                                           | actions in ``a``. Importantly: gradients
                                           | should be able to flow back into ``a``.
            ===========  ================  ======================================

        ac_kwargs (dict): Any kwargs appropriate for the ActorCritic object 
            you provided to SAC.

        seed (int): Seed for random number generators.

        steps_per_epoch (int): Number of steps of interaction (state-action pairs) 
            for the agent and the environment in each epoch.

        epochs (int): Number of epochs to run and train agent.

        replay_size (int): Maximum length of replay buffer.

        gamma (float): Discount factor. (Always between 0 and 1.)

        polyak (float): Interpolation factor in polyak averaging for target 
            networks. Target networks are updated towards main networks 
            according to:

            .. math:: \\theta_{\\text{targ}} \\leftarrow 
                \\rho \\theta_{\\text{targ}} + (1-\\rho) \\theta

            where :math:`\\rho` is polyak. (Always between 0 and 1, usually 
            close to 1.)

        lr (float): Learning rate (used for both policy and value learning).

        alpha (float): Entropy regularization coefficient. (Equivalent to 
            inverse of reward scale in the original SAC paper.)

        batch_size (int): Minibatch size for SGD.

        start_steps (int): Number of steps for uniform-random action selection,
            before running real policy. Helps exploration.

        update_after (int): Number of env interactions to collect before
            starting to do gradient descent updates. Ensures replay buffer
            is full enough for useful updates.

        update_every (int): Number of env interactions that should elapse
            between gradient descent updates. Note: Regardless of how long 
            you wait between updates, the ratio of env steps to gradient steps 
            is locked to 1.

        num_test_episodes (int): Number of episodes to test the deterministic
            policy at the end of each epoch.

        max_ep_len (int): Maximum length of trajectory / episode / rollout.

        logger_kwargs (dict): Keyword args for EpochLogger.

        save_freq (int): How often (in terms of gap between epochs) to save
            the current policy and value function.
