I have windows 7 x64 and python 3.4. I try to use cv2 module:

import numpy as np
import cv2

img = cv2.imread('messi5.jpg',0)

As I know, there is no way to use opencv 2 with python 3.4. Therefore, I downloaded opencv 3 beta. But I don't understand how to use this stuff for my purpose. Folder ~\opencv\build\python\ contains python 2.7 folder, but there is not python 3.4 folder.

How to solve my task?

Update (06.06.2015).

OpenCV 3 has been released. You can directly download it from official site.

you need to build it from source using cmake. Follow the instructions of standard install procedure link, you will find OPENCVDIR/build/install/python/x64(or86)/3.4/cv.pyd. Copy this file and all the .dll files to the python site-packges dir, I was able to "import cv2"

  • Following your suggestion, I'm trying to build OpenCV 3.0.0-beta from source. However the tutorial is a bit outdated and I run into some problems. Could you take a look at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29747195/building-opencv-3-0-0-beta-windows-python-3-4 ? – NumesSanguis Apr 20 '15 at 12:00
