Packaging as a pip modules

[andreydung]

Thanks for the useful library, this is much needed!

I'm wondering if you would be interested in converting this to a pip module? So that other users would just have to import object_detection_metrics to run your code, and avoid shipping your code along the repo.

We could push a PR for this.

Dear @andreydung ,

Thanks for your message. Yes, it would be a nice opportunity to make this code useful to other people.

I have a work in progress in this current repo to chang some variables names and some optimizing some parts of the code. I would like to finish that before adding it to pip.

Do you have experience on building pip modules?

[andreydung]

@rafaelpadilla yes just need to wrap into a module, and then add a setup.py file (similar to scikit-learn). We'll be waiting for the optimization until converting to pip then.

@rafaelpadilla Any progress? Do you need any help?

IMHO, the pip package is a must. You've done some excellent hard work, releasing the pip package is the small step separating this project from becoming the industry standard.

How can we proceed to make it available into a pip package?

Who has experience on generating pip packages that could help us on that? Any volunteer?
