I have installed opencv on my windows machine using python 3.6 without any issues, using:
pip install opencv-python
but when I try to import cv2 I get the following error
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I have seen this post
It says cv2 doesn't work with python 3 I was wondering if this has been fixed or if there is a way around it
importerror no module named cv2 error occurs when cv2 module is not properly installed or its path is not properly set or configured. The straight way fix for this error (no module named cv2) is to reinstall this module (OpenCV-python). In some scenario reinstalling this module automatically remove the older version.
importerror: dll load failed: The specified module could not be found error occurs because of the incompatibilities of Microsoft Visual C++ (Visual studio) versions. The best way to fix this error (importerror: dll load failed) is to reinstall/ install the Microsoft Visual C++ distribution.
I took a lot of time to solve this error! Run command
pip install opencv-contrib-python
