title: Python can't find openCV
body: <p>I just ran the script to install OpenCV. I'm running Linux here. I installed it after much struggle but it finally has completed. That being said, for some reason, it still isn't working. I've never had this much trouble installing a package in my life. Here are the last few lines of my terminal:</p>
  
  <pre><code>**********************************************************************
  
   Done. The new package has been installed and saved to
  
   /home/myname/Desktop/OpenCV/opencv-2.4.9/build/build_20140812-1_i386.deb
  
   You can remove it from your system anytime using: 
  
        dpkg -r build
  
  **********************************************************************
  
  OpenCV 2.4.9 ready to be used
  me:~/Desktop$ python

  &gt;&gt;&gt; import cv2
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  ImportError: No module named cv2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>anyone have any ideas why it's not working?
  thanks</p>
