How does this compare to other toolkits?

  Although there is a Python frontend, Dlib is really a C++-first toolkit that can be easily integrated in to other C++ applications. The examples are thoroughly documented, and the code itself has been a great pedagogical tool for me and others I work with. Basically, it's simple and well written.

    Nice to know there's a python wrapper, might make it easier to mock up / do initial validation before heading into the long grass.

    Last time I used it, the Python package isn't shipped as a wheel, so you have to compile dlib from source using CMake on install. Makes it harder to use for Python devs.

      That is correct. When one runs `pip install dlib`, only a .tar.gz file is retrieved. Then the building process takes a long while! > Collecting dlib > Downloading dlib-19.22.0.tar.gz (7.4 MB) > || 7.4 MB 14.7 MB/s > Building wheels for collected packages: dlib I had not noticed before because I have only used dlib on Google Colaboratory, where it is thankfully pre-installed.
