setup.py

Can we have a setup.py script to enhance the adaptivity in the case we want to use this whole repo as a plugin in another project? (this should be publishable to, for e.g., PyPI https://pypi.org)
Another benefit can be separation of source code when one want to reuse features of CVAT in another plan.
I can figure out how to do this when having time!

PS: An example.

Thanks.

Hi @mental689 ,

Could you please mention how you want to reuse the project?

Hi @mental689 ,

Could you please mention how you want to reuse the project?

@nmanovic Thanks. We have a bundle of video labeling works for a thesis project (academic work) where my workers will search for production videos from Internet and annotate every frames if the videos are of our interest. My intent is to have CVAT's features in the project with minimum coding effort. Although reuse is not novel and is wasteful in time, while this opencv project looks useful to our project, I think my workers would love to have CVAT in our project through PyPI (then can be installed using pip) with minimum installation effort.

Hi @mental689 ,

If you need just annotate a couple of videos you need to install CVAT on a server and use it for the task. Probably I don't understand completely what you are going to do but "pip" will not simplify installation steps.

Thanks @nmanovic. It seems like pip is not a good idea for my workers 👍
