This is the Python binding for OCRopus through Lua, in an early stage. The main feature is the conversion between narrays and numpy arrays. So far the following methods are available in the `ocropus' module: eval(expression) - evaluate the expression in the Lua interpreter get(name) - get a Lua global set - set a Lua global call(function, param_tuple) - invoke a Lua global function Building: - Compile OCRopus (look in /INSTALL and note the -fPIC options) - Run python setup.py build You'll get an ocropus.so built somewhere in build/ hierarchy. This is the whole OCRopus as a Python extension. Place it in a Python path and try importing it.
