 The toolbox is written in a mix of `Python`_ and `C++`_ and is designed to be
 both efficient and reduce development time. It is composed of a reasonably
 large number of `packages`_ that implement tools for image, audio & video
-processing, machine learning and pattern recognition.

-     w/o errors)
-
-   If you don't know how to do this, ask for information on the bob-devel
-   mailing list.
