Revision history [back]

Regarding performance keep in mind that a lot of C++ library (like OpenCV) can be used in Python without loss of performance since they are not executed by Python interpreter. I made some tests with face detection comparing performance between C++ and Python and I did not find significant differences.

My usual approach is to use Python for small integrations and for proof of concept taking advantage of its simplicity and switch to C++ only if this can results in performance improvements.
