I'm writing a sort of wrapperish thing in C first to reduce and simplify the task of writing the actual C binding, since I want the python module to have very minimal functionality: 1) enroll and save to my dir of choice 2) verify 3) capture images for added fanciness. My code[1] is a bit messy at this point (missing checks etc) but close to being a full prototype, I'll probably work on it tomorrow. Then, I'll be working on a QT4 gui for all this, in python, hence me creating the binding. <shamelessplug>Finally, I'll be integrating all this into Pardus [2][3], which uses python for a large part of the innards and QT for most of the homebrewn tool / manager UIs.</shamelessplug> Thanks for all the help, Geoff and Linus! Oh, also, if you're feeling curious, the PISI (Pardus's package manager) package for libfprint is at [4] (although pisi retrieves that from the repository automatically) and build files at SVN are at [5]. ~ Mehmet Ali Akmanalp [1] http://svn.pardus.org.tr/uludag/trunk/staj-projeleri/parmakizi/pyfinger/ [2] http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng/index.html [3] http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=pardus [4] http://paketler.pardus.org.tr/pardus-2008/libfprint-0.0.6-3-1.pisi [5] http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/2008/programming/libs/libfprint/
