Dlib missing when installing from pypi

[conradogarciaberrotaran]

Hello, first of all. congrats on this great tool. I found that installing from pypi and importing DeepFace gives you the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dlib'

Dlib is not found on the dependencies on the setup.py. If dlib is optional, you could wrap dlib import in a try except.

I can make a PR if needed.

Thanks!

Yes, dlib is an optional dependency. It should be loaded when dlib argument passed.

However, this should be fixed in 0.0.38. What version of deepface you are running?

[conradogarciaberrotaran]

Im on 0.0.38.

$ pip freeze | ag deepface
deepface==0.0.38

[serengil]

it is very interesting.

DlibResNet package is imported when model_name is passed as Dlib.

elif model_name == 'Dlib':
    print("Using Dlib ResNet model backend", distance_metric,"distance.")
    from deepface.basemodels.DlibResNet import DlibResNet #this is not a must because it is very huge.
    model = DlibResNet()

dlib library is imported in DlibResNet package.

Could you send the code sample you are running? What did you pass to model_name argument?

Sure, here it is:

Seems it's being imported on realtime.py line 13 https://github.com/serengil/deepface/blob/master/deepface/commons/realtime.py#L13

from deepface.basemodels.DlibResNet import DlibResNet

[serengil]

oke I understand, exception comes from realtime.py. I will fix it in 10 minutes. You will update deepface to 0.0.39.

[conradogarciaberrotaran]

Thanks!

[serengil]

Fixed! Could you test 0.0.39?

[conradogarciaberrotaran]

Sorry for the delay, it worked! Thanks

[serengil]

That was my fault. I could not understand it until you written the exception message detail. Thanks again for your contribution.
