title: Segmentation fault and crashing when trying to import opencv
body: <p>I have mac os x 10.9. I downloaded opencv-python using homebrew and I have both the python 2.7 and python 3.4 versions off of the main python site, downloaded the usual way with macs. I need to use opencv, but they do not have a download package for macs so I used homebrew:</p>
  
  <pre><code>brew tap homebrew/science
  brew install opencv
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I type python into the terminal, and then type import cv, I get a segmentation error and python quits unexpectedly. The same thing happens in IDLE. For python 3.4, I get a no module error. Here it is:</p>

  &gt;&gt;&gt; import cv

  <p>and then it quits unexpectedly. Does anyone know what is going on? Frankly I have spent way too much time on this opencv issue and am finding it very frustrating. Thank you!</p>
