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 Pyt

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.
