image-classifiers · PyPI
There was a huge library update 05 of August. Now classification-models works with both frameworks: keras and tensorflow.keras. If you have models, trained before that date, to load them, please, use image-classifiers (PyPI package name) of 0.2.2 version.
      » pip install image-classifiers

I wrote a lightweight image classification library for local ML datasets
This looks really useful! I've definitely run into the problem of needing a quick and dirty way to label images without the overhead of a full-fledged platform. The local-only aspect is a big plus. I'll give it a try on my next pet project and leave some feedback on GitHub. Thanks for sharing! ⭐ More on reddit.com

What should I use for image recognition?

There's a chapter on taking screen shots, locating positions of images and clicking them. I believe it can all be done with pyautogui.

r/learnpython on Reddit: What is the best library for simple image recognition?
July 23, 2020 -

I'm writing a script that requires me to figure out how many of an object are on the screen. The objects are kinda low resolution, think the ducks from Duck Hunt. I want to be able to track them in the screen and know their RGB value, even if acreen orientation changes.

However, I don't know much Python, let alone machine learning, so I'd like a library that has some capabilities built in.

I've tried pyautogui, but it doesn't always register the objects on screen, and I can't figure out how its confidence interval stuff works. I've heard of opencv, but it looks like it requires some machine learning knowledge.

Cheers.

r/Python on Reddit: I wrote a lightweight image classification library for local ML datasets
May 7, 2025 -

What My Project Does

Labeling image data for training ML models is often a huge bottleneck - especially if you’ve collected your data via scraping or other raw sources.

I built Classto, a lightweight Python library that lets you manually classify images into custom categories through a clean browser UI. It’s fully local, fast to launch, and ideal for small to mid-sized datasets that need manual review or cleanup.

Target Audience

Classto is ideal for:

  • ML practitioners who collect unlabeled image data (e.g. via scraping)

  • Developers creating small or mid-sized datasets for classification tasks

  • Researchers and students who want a no-fuss way to organize image data

It's not intended for large-scale automated pipelines, but rather for local, hands-on image labeling when you want full control.

Comparison

Unlike full-scale labeling platforms like Labelbox or CVAT, Classto:

  • Runs entirely locally — no signup or cloud required

  • Requires zero config — just pip install classto and launch

  • Focuses on speed & simplicity, not bounding boxes or complex annotations

Features:

  • One-click classification via web interface (built with Flask)

  • Supports custom categories (e.g. "Dog", "Cat", "Unknown")

  • Automatically moves files into subfolders by label

  • Optionally logs each label to labels.csv

  • Optionally adds suffixes to filenames to avoid overwriting

  • Built-in delete button & dark mode

Quickstart

import classto as ct

app = ct.ImageLabeler(
    classes=["Cat", "Dog"],
    image_folder="images",
    suffix=True
)

app.launch()

Open your browser at http://127.0.0.1:5000 and start labeling.

  • PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/classto/

Let me know what you think - feedback and contributions are very welcome 🙏
If you find Classto useful, I’d really appreciate a ⭐️ on the GitHub repo
