Why Can't I Import cv2 in My Python Program After Installing OpenCV?

Troubleshoot: "Cannot Find Module cv2" When Using OpenCV

Problem:

After installing OpenCV on a Raspberry Pi running Occidentalis, importing cv2 in a Python program results in an error: "ImportError: No module named cv2."

Solution:

Confirm that the cv2.so file is indeed located in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/...

Potential Causes:

• Path Misconfiguration: The Python interpreter may not be properly configured to find the OpenCV library.
• Anaconda-Navigator Issue: If Anaconda is installed, it may need to be updated.
• Package Conflict: Other conflicting software packages may be installed.

Resolution:

For Windows:

• Update conda and conda-navigator:

  conda update anacoonda-navigator
  conda update navigator-updater

• Install OpenCV with pip:

  pip install opencv-python

• Alternatively, install OpenCV with conda:

  conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/menpo opencv

For Linux:

• Install OpenCV with pip:
