cv2.createLBPHFaceRecognizer() NOT working
And cv2.face.createLBPHFaceRecognizer() NOT working
It says module 'cv2.cv2' has no attribute 'createLBPHFaceRecognizer' or module 'cv2.cv2' has no attribute 'face'
win10, python 3.6.1- amd64, kali linux python 3.5.3 or 2.7.13, I have tested opencv 3.1 and 3.2, I just got the same AttributeError. So, what's the problem, where is the createLBPHFaceRecognizer()

cv2.face.createLBPHFaceRecognizer()

is the correct invocation for opencv3. but most likely, you do not have the face submodule, because your cv2.pyd was built without opencv_contrib

there's a couple of options:

rebuild from src with opencv_contrib (see readme there) you need a c++ compiler and cmake for this.
fall back to opencv2.4 and use cv2.createLBPHFaceRecognizer()
use an entirely independant implementation
