What is the `imrect` equivalent in Python?

Question

I'm looking for a simple Python utility or module that:

• I can give it an image, and it pops up a GUI window for the user to draw a box inside the image
• after drawing the box, it returns the coordinates of the box

MATLAB users will realize that I am asking for imrect equivalent in Python.

Is there a simple utility out there to do this?

Answer 1

A quick implementation, for any future searchers: https://raw.github.com/cvondrick/pyvision/master/vision/drawer.py

Answer 2

You can try PIL - Python Imaging Library.

For GUI there's a module named tkinter, though there may be some better options too.
