how to get opencv_contrib module in anaconda

Question

Can anyone tell me commands to get contrib module for anaconda

I need that module for matches = flann.knnMatch(des1,des2,k=2) to run correctly

error thrown is cv2.error: ......\modules\python\src2\cv2.cpp:163: error: (-215) The data should normally be NULL! in function NumpyAllocator::allocate

Also I am using Anaconda openCV version 3, and strictly dont want to switch to lower versions P.S. as suggested at many places to edit file cv2.cpp option is not available with anaconda.

I would recommend installing pip in your anaconda environment then just doing: pip install opencv-contrib-python. This comes will opencv and opencv-contrib.
