Installing OpenCV for Python on Ubuntu, getting ImportError: No module named cv2.cv

Question

I have an Ubuntu 14.04 system, on which I want to install OpenCV and use it with Python 2.x.

I installed OpenCV using the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/

Answer 1

I think you don't have the python-opencv package.

I had the exact same problem and

sudo apt-get install python-opencv

solved the issue for me.

you can install opencv from the following link https://www.learnopencv.com/install-opencv3-on-ubuntu/ It works for me . apt-get install doesnt contain many packages of opencv
