I currently am running Python 3.5 and using Spyder from Anaconda as my IDE. I am running this on a Windows machine.
When I write import cv3 at the top of my code, it returns the error ImportError: No module named 'cv3'
I attempted to install opencv3 again with the command conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/menpo opencv3 in the Command Prompt. It is apparently already installed because it returned
Fetching package metabase...............
Solving package specifications: .
# All requested packages already installed.
# packages in environment at C:\Users\Joey\Anaconda3:
# opencv3 3.1.0 py35_0 https://conda.binstar.org/menpo
Am I importing cv3 wrong? How do I fix this error?
Update: Tried import cv3 instead of import cv2 but got the following error: ImportError: cannot import name 'cv2'. The wording on the two errors is different, so python must acknowledge there is opencv installed but it does not work for some reason. Any ideas?
Problem solved by using command pip uninstall opencv-python in the Command Prompt.
I have attempted several installations of opencv and I suppose one may have downloaded badly and Anaconda was attempting to read that one. I looked into the build of some of the other installations I attempted and some were for Python 2.7. Maybe that contributed to the error.
Thankfully, this worked. Now import cv2 works perfectly. No errors.
