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:

Answer 1

In my case, using Python 3.8 on Windows 10 and Pycharm (or VS Code as well), I have this same issue.

Finally I noticed that the Antivirus (Nod32) deletes the cv2.cp38-win32.pyd file that should be in the cv2 folder. I simply paused the protection, installed opencv with pip install opencv-python command and it worked just fine.

I hope it helps someone.

Answer 2

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!

Answer 3

try this:

Create Virtual Environment

conda create --name opencv-env python=3.6

Activate the environment

activate opencv-env

Install OpenCV and other important packages

pip install numpy scipy matplotlib scikit-learn jupyter
pip install opencv-contrib-python
pip install dlib

Test your installation

import cv2
cv2.__version__

Answer 4

I had this exact same problem on Windows 10. Uninstalling via pip and then reinstalling in my virtual environment fixed everything up for me.
