smg-pyleap

This Python package provides Python bindings for the Leap Motion.

It is a submodule of smglib, the open-source Python framework associated with our drone research in the Cyber-Physical Systems group at the University of Oxford.

Installation (as part of smglib)

Note: Please read the top-level README for smglib before following these instructions.

Download and extract the Leap Developer Kit from here (you'll need to register for an account). We used version 3.2.1.
Set (at a system level, not within the terminal) the SMGLIB_LEAP_ROOT_DIR environment variable to the LeapSDK sub-directory within the extracted kit, e.g.
```
C:/Users/<your user>/Downloads/LeapDeveloperKit_3.2.1+45911_win/LeapSDK
```
Open the terminal, and change to the <root>/smg-pyleap directory.
Check out the master branch.
Activate the Conda environment, e.g. conda activate smglib.
Run pip install -e . at the terminal.
