I followed the installation guide https://docs.opencv.org/3.0-beta/doc/...

There it is mentioned to copy cv2.pyd to C:/Python27/lib/site-packages.

This I did, but into the python37 directory. Then I started the IDE but the import didn't work.

I have to mention I'm totaly newbie to python and OpenCV, I'm develop up to now only the other languages.

ahh, i see.

iirc, the prebuilt cv2.pyd is for python 2.7 only (so, wrong version). remove it again, and try:

pip install opencv-contrib-python

Okay ... Thank you for the hint !!! I'l try it later, because right now I can't download it because of the firewall. I have to try it from my home pc. I'll keep you informed whether it worked out or not. Thank you again for your very fast answer! Best Geen

i looked it up -- indeed the buildbot is only building python2 binaries.

For Python 3: used pip3

pip3 install opencv-contrib-python
