It’s fully operational. Very little python code needed to get it working. However, to use it, you have to fetch the latest version from CVS. Then, you have to get the thirdparty libraries from the website. Finally, you have to add the ARToolKit to the thirdparty libraries, because I haven’t published a version of the thirdparty libraries that include ARToolKit yet. Then you compile.
It’s all a bit of a pain.
