No module named 'cv2.cv2'

Question

I am a beginner at computers. I use Anaconda python 3.6 in windows 10. I have already installed OpenCV using this command:

pip install opencv-python

But when I try to import cv2 using this:

import cv2

this error shows up:

How can I install openCV for python?

Answer 1

Based on python opencv link: https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python/

Step 1: Uninstall the opencv first if you have previous/other manually installed (= not installed via pip) version of OpenCV installed (e.g. cv2 module in the root of Python's site-packages)):

pip uninstall opencv-python

Step 2: Install the package afresh

pip install opencv-python

Hope that works!
