Import cv2 missing - python3.7

Question

I am trying to import cv2 from the python modules in site packages.

I've seen other solutions where you add the module into the site packages directory for python, did pip install and was notified that it installed correctly. I also did a reinstall of the module and its opencv-contrib-python.

When installing opencv-python and attempting to import cv2, I also recieved an error message that there was recursions in the ini file for open cv.

Answer 1

If you're using python3, you'll need to do

pip3 install opencv-contrib-python

Answer 2

pip install opencv-python

pip install opencv-contrib-python

Answer 3

print(cv2.__version__)
