ImportError: No module named opencv.cv
Question: I installed opencv on Linux Mint using:

    
    
    sudo apt-get install python-opencv
    

When I attempt to import the opencv module using:

    
    
    from opencv.cv import *
    

I receive the error:

    
    
    from opencv.cv import *
    ImportError: No module named opencv.cv
    

Any idea why this error is occurring and how to resolve the problem?


Answer: Try doing

    
    
    import cv
    

as in
[examples](http://opencv.willowgarage.com/documentation/python/cookbook.html)
or

    
    
    from cv import *
