Replace ndim with len(shape)

[dziulek]

Hi!

I use tensorflow==2.9.1 and I came across a situation where tf.Tensor could not have ndim attribute at some point of execution. Moreover, what I found out is that the problem does not occur in tensorflow==2.16.
Here you have a simple code to reproduce the error.

import tensorflow as tf
import jaxtyping as jax
import beartype

@tf.function()
@jax.jaxtyped(typechecker=beartype.beartype)
def map_function(tensor: jax.Float[tf.Tensor, "h w c"]) -> jax.Float[tf.Tensor, "h w c"]:
    return 1 - tensor

def main():

    tf.config.run_functions_eagerly(True)
    tf.data.experimental.enable_debug_mode()

    dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices(tensors=tf.random.uniform((100,30,30,3)))
    dataset = dataset.map(map_function)

if __name__ == "__main__":

    main()

This is what i get
AttributeError: 'Tensor' object has no attribute 'ndim'

Unfortunately I'm pinned to the 2.9.1 version of tensorflow. Let me know what do you think.

LGTM! No idea why they don't have an ndim attribute, but happy to support this use-case.
