I'm using Windows, and I'm trying to install package cv2 for python3.
I did a pip3 install opencv-python and it reports successful:
But when I do the import cv2 from python3, it's not found and I get weird errors:
What am I doing wrong?

Python 2.7 is the ONLY supported python version for cv 2.
The file cv2.so is stored in /usr/local/lib/python2. 7/site-packages/... There are also folders in /usr/local/lib called python3. 2 and python2.
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.
Your screenshot shows you doing a pip install from the python terminal which is wrong. Do that outside the python terminal. Also the package I believe you want is:
pip install opencv-python Since you're running on Windows, I might look at the official install manual: https://breakthrough.github.io/Installing-OpenCV
opencv2 is ONLY compatible with Python3 if you do so by compiling the source code. See the section under opencv supported python versions: https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python

Make a virtual enviroment using python3
virtualenv env_name --python="python3" and run the following command
pip3 install opencv-python If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
