I'm new to opencv and using ubuntu 14.04, I'm confused of the difference with opencv, python-opencv, and libopencv, as I have libopencv and python-opencv installed in my system, but I there is no cv interface accessible, so I have to install opencv which is much hard than python-opencv and libopencv.

Python is a high-level programming language, whereas OpenCV is a library for computer vision. Python is used to write code, implement algorithms, develop systems, etc.
A: It's easier for users to understand opencv-python than cv2 and it makes it easier to find the package with search engines. cv2 (old interface in old OpenCV versions was named as cv ) is the name that OpenCV developers chose when they created the binding generators.
This is a metapackage providing development package necessary for. development of OpenCV (Open Computer Vision). . The Open Computer Vision Library is a collection of algorithms and sample. code for various computer vision problems.
cv2 is the module import name for opencv-python, "Unofficial pre-built CPU-only OpenCV packages for Python".
I would like to add to Andika's answer.

libopencv is the debian/ubuntu package while python-opencv is the python wrapper and can be accessed using cv2 interface like COLDSPEED mentioned
