+
+Dlib is principally a C++ library, however, you can use a number of its tools
+from python applications.  This page documents the python API for working with
+these dlib tools.  If you haven't done so already, you should probably look at
+the python example programs first before consulting this reference.  These
+example programs are little mini-tutorials for using dlib from python.  They
+are listed on the left of the main dlib web page.
