Hey Gard, Weirdly I can't see that package locally at all. Probably because I'm on such an old distro.
I'm not 100% sure if that dlib package ships with the python bindings or if it's just the C++ version. I'll look into that. If it does have python bindings then that solves the problem in its entirety. You're not too negative at all! I'm entirely new to this part of the packaging process so your feedback has been invaluable to me, so thanks a lot!
