Python: Cannot find and install python module 'video'

Question

I am using Python 3.6. I tried to run the OpenCV optical flow code: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/master/samples/python/opt_flow.py

and there was an error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'video'

I thought the 'video' module must be missing. So, I run

pip install video

in the command line, but it gave me this error:

Collecting video
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement video (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for video

Could anyone advise on how to solve this problem? How to find where are the OpenCV modules installed in local drive?

Answer 1

You need to add video.py, to your project. It not a package that you need to install rather its a module which exist in the same repo.
