Anyone know if *SimpleCV allows c++ or is python-only? -I only want to know c++ and write my c++ code in whateva compiler I end up with...Does it work with c++? By the looks of SimplCV it seems to be all Python happy...getting scared...and no I cannot currently get it to install frown :(.

Computer Vision platform using Python.
Looks that way.

IMO it makes sense to write the high level logic in Python or any other scripting language. Nearly all the CPU time will be spent in OpenCV anyway, and your code will just be glue. Why do you need it to be C++?

It's python only which is easily determined by perusing the site. They also have a help forum where, undoubtedly, they welcome questions about SimpleCV.

But I learned c++....I need something like this cv that'll work with c++.....if I do the hard install of *OpenCV then does this version support c++?

I believe openCV is just a library, it works with almost(?) any language.

But then what was SimpleCV, python with the library?

OpenGL, SimpleCV, OpenCV. They are just Libraries/Frameworks that provide functions to do stuff. That is all. What language you use doesnt matter. Someone will correct me if Im wrong.

SimpleCV is a library for Python. OpenCV is a library which, since it exposes a C interface, can be used from a variety of languages.
