Bob Package Development

This module contains information on how to build, maintain, and distribute Bob packages written in pure Python or a mix of C/C++ and Python.

By following these instructions you will be able to:

• Setup a local development environment.

• Download and install Bob packages and other software into your development environment.

• Implement your own package including either pure Python code, a mixture of C/C++ and Python code, and even pure C/C++ libraries with clean C/C++ interfaces.

  Note

  If possible, you should try to develop new packages using Python only, since they are easier to maintain.

• Distribute your work to others in a clean and organized manner.
