Allow remote code repo names to contain "."

[akasharidas]

What does this PR do?

When the repo path for a model containing custom code contains ., the code fails to import it correctly because . is interpreted by the Python import machinery as a module separator. This issue was reported in Transformers (huggingface/transformers#28919) and was fixed in huggingface/transformers#29175. The same issue exists in Diffusers, so this PR brings over that fix with minor changes to account for how Diffusers names the cache directory.

Looks pretty good! Should we add a test for it here?

diffusers/tests/pipelines/test_pipelines.py

Line 1009 in c934720

class CustomPipelineTests(unittest.TestCase):

Could we do:

def get_class_in_module(class_name, module_path, pretrained_model_name_or_path=None):

This will ensure the change is not backward breaking.

[akasharidas]

Thanks for the feedback, I've made the proposed change

To test this we need a repo that both has a dot in the name and has custom remote code. Currently I'm testing it on a private repo. @sayakpaul could you help by creating a new repo on hf-internal-testing for this? You could just duplicate hf-internal-testing/tiny-sdxl-custom-all into something like hf-internal-testing/tiny-sdxl-custom-all-1.0 and then I can write a test similar to test_remote_auto_custom_pipe.

[akasharidas]

Added a test for it in tests/pipelines/test_pipelines.py. Currently it depends on this test repo in my account. Feel free to move it into hf-internal-testing.
