title: Raspberry Pi 3 - OpenCV and Picamera
body: <p>I am working on a project with some friends and we're facing a bit of a problem with our implementation of <code>picamera</code>.</p>
  
  <p>We're trying to import <code>cv2</code> and <code>picamera</code> at the start of the program (working with Python 3) and so far importing <code>cv2</code> works just fine.
  When we're trying to import picamera it tells us this: <code>ImportError: No module named picamera</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I made sure we installed <code>picamera</code> with "<code>sudo apt-get install python-picamera</code>" and with "<code>...python3-picamera</code>" and it tells me the modules are installed.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to fix this problem?</p>
  
  <p>Our goal is to take a photo every 0.5s and use it for our OpenCV-program, and we wanted to do that with <code>picamera</code>, and only that.</p>
  
  <p>Might the problem be that our project is located on the Desktop and not in some kind of Project folder or something?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
