AttributeError: module 'cv2.cv2' has no attribute 'cv'

Question

I think I have some issues with the windows system or python 3.6 version. I am facing some attribute error. I have checked and double checked my code and there is no error and i also compare my code to others and i have seen there is no error. then why i am facing this kind of error. I am adding my code here:

and i am facing following error.

C:\Users\MAN\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\python.exe C:/Users/MAN/PycharmProjects/facerecognition/Recognise/recognizerr.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/MAN/PycharmProjects/facerecognition/Recognise/recognizerr.py", line 11, in font = cv2.cv.InitFont(cv2.cv.CV_FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1) AttributeError: module 'cv2.cv2' has no attribute 'cv'

Process finished with exit code 1

Is this the Windows issue or it shows only error in Python 3.6 version? for you kind information I am using Python 3.6 in Windows platform.

Answer 1

in Opencv3 the cv module is deprecated. So, in line 11 you can initialize the font like following:

font = cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX

Answer 2

font = cv2.cv.CV_FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX

I worked on different variable (CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH), and it took me soo long to understand that you also need to remove the "CV_".
