This repository generates packages which contain pre-compiled OpenCV binary with Python bindings. This enables super fast (usually < 10 seconds) OpenCV installation for Python.
If you need only OpenCV Python bindings, no separate OpenCV installation is required.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**
MacOS and Linux wheels have some limitations:
- video related functionality is not supported (not compiled with FFmpeg)
- for example ``cv.imshow()`` will not work (not compiled with GTK+ 2.x or Carbon support)
Installation and Usage
Installation and Usage
----------------------
----------------------
To install this package:
1. If you have previous/other version of OpenCV installed (e.g. cv2 module in the root of Python's site-packages), remove it before installation to avoid conflicts.
- To further avoid conflicts and to make development easier, Python's `virtual environments <https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html>`__ are highly recommended for development purposes.
