We're converting the top level commands from C++ to Python. Most of the OCRopus C++ command line programs now have Python command line equivalents.
There are two ways of generating hOCR output. You can do the traditional multi-step processing, in which case you use ocropus-hocr to generate the final output, and you can use ocropus-pages, which does all recognition in a single program. Both output bounding boxes for lines. We'll be adding support for word and character bounding boxes later as well.
