Summary

So much can happen in a single mission! We trained an OpenCV/NumPy/SciPy histogram classifier, performed Bing Image Searches, built a wxPython app, and used PyInstaller to bundle it all for redistribution to Russia with love (or, indeed, to any destination with any sentiment). At this point, you are well-primed to create other Python applications that combine computer vision, web requests, and a GUI.

For our next mission, we will dig our claws deeper into OpenCV and computer vision by building a fully functional cat recognizer!
