Python OpenCV wrapper

Claudio Grondi

What is the current status of Python OpenCV interface i.e. the opencv
module?

\OpenCV\samples \python\contour s.py gives following ERROR:
OpenCV Python version of contours
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "\OpenCV\sample s\python\contou rs.py", line 6, in ?
from opencv import cv
ImportError: No module named opencv

but I can't find any hints towards a opencv Python module.

P.S.
OpenCV means Intel® Open Source Computer Vision Library. It is a collection
of C functions and a
few C++ classes that implement some popular Image Processing and Computer
Vision algorithms.

This is the best what I was able to find using Google, but it seems to lead
nowhere:
http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache...n+module&hl=de
dated 2005-02-02 (the original page was not available, but Google has a
cache :/):
Before putting a lot of effort in SWIG wrapping of OpenCV ourselves, we
searched the web for already existing Python wrappers. There has been some
work on the topic, but none that satisfied our needs, since we're interested
in wrappers for the current and future OpenCV releases that provide access
to the data structure internals.:

a.. http://www.swig.org/ - The SWIG homepage
b..
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index...45&atid=101645 -
SWIG Bug ???[754443] conversion of preprocessor math", one of the bugs that
make direct SWIG wrapping of OpenCV headers impossible.
c.. http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~rstancha/oss.html - Basic SWIG wrapping for
Python and OpenCV (see above). This is where we took PIL and Numeric
convertor ideas from.
d.. http://members.tripod.com/~edcjones/pycode.html - An older attempt to
SWIG wrapping OpenCV for Python. Uses manually rewritten OpenCV headers that
are not portable to current OpenCV releases (Beta 3 and Beta 4 not working).
e.. http://blueruby.mydns.jp/opencv/inde...=view;name=top - Ruby
wrappres for OpenCV (see above). Sorry, this page is in Japanese .

Re: Does Python 2.5.2's embedded SQLite support full text searching?

by: Daniel Fetchinson | last post by:

Does Python 2.5.2's embedded SQLite support full text searching? Sqlite itself is not distributed with python. Only a python db api compliant wrapper is part of the python stdlib and as such it is completely independent of the sqlite build. In other words, if your sqlite build supports full text searching you can use it through the python sqlite wrapper (that is part of the stdlib) and if it doesn't then not. This is true for any sqlite...

python extensions: including project local headers

Hey everyone, I'm working on a python extension wrapper around Rob Hess' implementation of a SIFT feature detector. I'm working on a computer-vision based project that requires interfacing with Python at the higher layers, so I figured the best way to handle this would be in C (since my initial implementation in python was ungodly and slow). I can get distutils to compile the extension and install it in the python path, but when I go...
