python import error in opencv

Question

I am getting this error when trying to import opencv:

>>> import cv2
RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0xa but this version of numpy is 0x7
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    import cv2
ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import

Answer 1

What version of Numpy are you running? You appear to only be running 1.7

Upgrade to the latest (1.14 as of writing) and try again.
