+    Broadcasts picklable objects in ``object_list`` to the whole group. Similar
+    to :func:`broadcast`, but Python objects can be passed in.
+    Note that all objects in ``object_list`` must be picklable in order to be
+    broadcasted.
+
+    Args:
+        object_list (List[Any]): List of input objects to broadcast.
+            Each object must be picklable. Only objects on the ``src`` rank will
+            be broadcast, but each rank must provide lists of equal sizes.
+        src (int): Source rank from which to broadcast ``object_list``.
+        group: (ProcessGroup, optional): The process group to work on. If None,
+            the default process group will be used. Default is ``None``.
+
+    Returns:
+        ``None``. If rank is part of the group, ``object_list`` will contain the
+        broadcasted objects from ``src`` rank.
+
+    .. note:: For NCCL-based processed groups, internal tensor representations
+        of objects must be moved to the GPU device before communication takes
+        place. In this case, the device used is given by
+        ``torch.cuda.current_device()`` and it is the user's responsiblity to
+        ensure that this is set so that each rank has an individual GPU, via
+        ``torch.cuda.set_device()``.
+
+    .. note:: Note that this API differs slightly from the :func:`all_gather`
+        collective since it does not provide an ``async_op`` handle and thus
+        will be a blocking call.
+
+    .. warning::
+        :func:`broadcast_object_list` uses ``pickle`` module implicitly, which
+        is known to be insecure. It is possible to construct malicious pickle
+        data which will execute arbitrary code during unpickling. Only call this
+        function with data you trust.
+
+    Example::
+        >>> # Note: Process group initialization omitted on each rank.
+        >>> import torch.distributed as dist
+        >>> if dist.get_rank() == 0:
+        >>>     # Assumes world_size of 3.
+        >>>     objects = ["foo", 12, {1: 2}] # any picklable object
+        >>> else:

-def broadcast_object_list(object_list, src=0, group=None):
-    """
-    Broadcasts picklable objects in ``object_list`` to the whole group. Similar
-    to :func:`broadcast`, but Python objects can be passed in.
-    Note that all objects in ``object_list`` must be picklable in order to be
-    broadcasted.
-
-    Args:
-        object_list (List[Any]): List of input objects to broadcast.
-            Each object must be picklable. Only objects on the ``src`` rank will
-            be broadcast, but each rank must provide lists of equal sizes.
-        src (int): Source rank from which to broadcast ``object_list``.
-        group: (ProcessGroup, optional): The process group to work on. If None,
-            the default process group will be used. Default is ``None``.
-
-    Returns:
-        ``None``. If rank is part of the group, ``object_list`` will contain the
-        broadcasted objects from ``src`` rank.
-
-    .. note:: For NCCL-based processed groups, internal tensor representations
-        of objects must be moved to the GPU device before communication takes
-        place. In this case, the device used is given by
-        ``torch.cuda.current_device()`` and it is the user's responsiblity to
-        ensure that this is set so that each rank has an individual GPU, via
-        ``torch.cuda.set_device()``.
-
-    .. note:: Note that this API differs slightly from the :func:`all_gather`
-        collective since it does not provide an ``async_op`` handle and thus
-        will be a blocking call.
-
-    .. warning::
-        :func:`broadcast_object_list` uses ``pickle`` module implicitly, which
-        is known to be insecure. It is possible to construct malicious pickle
-        data which will execute arbitrary code during unpickling. Only call this
-        function with data you trust.
-
-    Example::
-        >>> # Note: Process group initialization omitted on each rank.
-        >>> import torch.distributed as dist
-        >>> if dist.get_rank() == 0:
-        >>>     # Assumes world_size of 3.
-        >>>     objects = ["foo", 12, {1: 2}] # any picklable object
-        >>> else:
-        >>>     objects = [None, None, None]
-        >>> dist.broadcast_object_list(objects, src=0)
