Its not clear why you are doing this.
Who asked you to download it? Why do they want you to use it?
Do you have experience in C++ (which seems to be how DLib is
documented)

The reason I ask is that DLib looks like a fairly specialised
tool that overlaps quite a lot of the standard libraries that
come with Python. It's certainly not something a novice Python
user would normally be playing with.

This list is really for teaching people the python language
and standard library. To get support on DLib you are probably
better asking on the DLib forum. Failing that you might try
the main Python list.

But I'd check you really need it first.
