Description
Thanks for making this - it is awesome.
The face_encodings method seems to freeze the python shell. No error - the shell just stops printing or doing anything:
obama_image = face_recognition.load_image_file("obama_small.jpg")
print("image loaded")
obama_face_encoding = face_recognition.face_encodings(obama_image)[0]
print("image encoded")
The above code just returns:
image loaded
Any idea how to fix this?
What I Did

Research direction
Reproduce the freeze with facerec_on_raspberry_pi.py on Python 3.4.2 and Raspbian Jessie, starting from the face_recognition.face_encodings(obama_image) call. Investigate why execution stops after “image loaded”; done means the encoding call returns and the program prints “image encoded” without freezing.
