Following the TF tutorial on pet object detection : <https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/g3doc/running_pets.md>

Ran locally : <https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/g3doc/running_locally.md>

The training seems to work well.

Trying to launch the evaluation process from the `tensorflow/models/research/` directory

```
python object_detection/eval.py \
    --logtostderr \
    --pipeline_config_path=${PATH_TO_YOUR_PIPELINE_CONFIG} \
    --checkpoint_dir=${PATH_TO_TRAIN_DIR} \
    --eval_dir=${PATH_TO_EVAL_DIR}

```

I got the following error

```
from pycocotools import coco \
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pycocotools'

```

Had a look on coco API but I don't see any clear way to install it on Windows.

Any advice on how to get the evaluation running the simpliest way ?
