Look for tutorials

I'm investigating skbuild to build Python C++ extensions that use opencv. We currently use setuptools and pybind11, so other developers here are somewhat comfortable with that, but we are not expert as an organization doing this by any means. It looks like skbuild could be useful to us from these very simple examples:

scikit-build-sample-projects
[](https://github.com/scikit-build/scikit-build-sample-projects)

core-pybind11-hello
[](https://github.com/scikit-build/scikit-build-sample-projects/tree/master/projects/core-pybind11-hello)

hello-pybind11
[](https://github.com/scikit-build/scikit-build-sample-projects/tree/master/projects/hello-pybind11)

We really need to find a good tutorial about using skbuild with pybind11 to build C++ extensions that use OpenCV that we can follow to build our extensions. Any pointers to tutorials like this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'd recommend https://github.com/pybind/scikit_build_example as a good example (it uses scikit-build-core, though an older version used classic scikit-build, if you'd rather that). I'm not aware of something specific with OpenCV, though. An example probably could be developed, though. Do you have any simple examples of something minimal with pybind11 + OpenCV that we could then try building?

Thanks for the quick response. In between other tasks I happen to be building a very simple OpenCV example right now for other purposes. I should have it in a couple of days and will post it then if that's OK.

That would be great, I might be able to then adapt it to use scikit-build(-core?).

Hi Henry,

i finally got the example pulled together. It's in a public github repo:

py11ocvex
https://github.com/hangarr/py11ocvex

This probably doesn't conform to best Python conventions. It's a compromise with the structure of our code base.
