python-animeface is a Python wrapper of AnimeFace, a library to detect anime character faces in images.
See also the official website of AnimeFace (in Japanese language).
You can install this module with PIP.
pip install animeface
In case a Python binary package (wheel) is not available for your environment, you need to install libnvxs (the original AnimeFace library) before installing python-animeface. The source code of libnvxs is included in this repository.
cd third_party/nvxs-1.0.2
./configure
make
sudo make install
