Using Oculus SDK2 with Python!

Hi,

I found a python binding at https://github.com/jherico/python-ovrsdk. Now I'd like to know how to install this binding to run it with Oculus. Kindly run down the steps, so that I'm able to play an example and in the end, eventually any file. I'm kinda of a rookie, so I'd greatly appreciate a step by step procedure on this. Thank you so much. :)

    There are examples of using the Python wrappers here: https://github.com/OculusRiftInAction/pyovr-examples

    However, I don't really have a step by step setup guide, other than what's in the book, and even that is targeted at intermediate to advanced Python developers. Sorry.

    Thanks mate, I was able to run the RiftDemo.py example using terminal. I see that it gives the camera position in the output. I would like to get the camera position at more faster intervals . For example,a position for every half a second or even lesser than that.

    Please let me know how to go about it. Thank you. :)
