Correct me if I'm wrong.
It will as soon as I receive hardware that supports it. I don't see how much harder it would be than writing Python bindings. > Finally, for a small project that exclusively uses a fingerprint > reader, I frankly see no point to involve D-Bus when you can talk to > libfprint directly. Which "small project" did you have in mind? Given that the daemon takes care of data storage, and device access permissions, there's a little more to it than using the bare-bones libfprint API. _______________________________________________ fprint mailing list [email protected] http://lists.reactivated.net/mailman/listinfo/fprint
