Build OpenCV for Python

Dears,

I'm trying to build OpenCV including with CMAKE option "BUILD_opencv_python2" - I finshed always with errors:

CMAKE configurtion says:

Detected version of GNU GCC: 53 (503)
CUDA compilation is disabled (due to only Visual Studio compiler supported on your platform).
Could NOT find PythonInterp: Found unsuitable version "2.7.10", but required is at least "3.4" (found C:/Python27/python.exe)
Could NOT find PythonInterp: Found unsuitable version "2.7.10", but required is at least "3.2" (found C:/Python27/python.exe)

  Python 2:
    Interpreter:                 C:/Python27/python.exe (ver 2.7.10)
    Libraries:                   C:/Python27/libs/libpython27.a (ver 2.7.10+)
    numpy:                       C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/numpy/core/include (ver 1.9.2)
    packages path:               C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages

  Python (for build):            C:/Python27/python.exe

I have installed python, numpy - it's working.

First question: Do not understand why CMAKE says: Found unsuitable version "2.7.10", but required is at least "3.4" ?

Secondly - when "make" runs to build it ends up with:

[ 98%] Linking CXX shared module ..\..\lib\cv2.pyd
C:/Python27/libs/libpython27.a: error adding symbols: File format not recognized
collect2.exe: error ...

Dear Peter,

To build opencv 3.1 for python you need python 3.4 installed on computer. Currently i guess you have python 2.7 installed. To use opencv for python 2.7 just copy the pre-built file \build\python\2.7\x64\cv2.pyd from your opencv path to site-packages folder of your python installation folder (windows OS). However to build opencv for python you require python 3.0 and above installed on your system.

Dear Valentine

Are you sure about that?, and if you did it and it worked, do you have xfeatures2d? because this is the module I need the most to use for my own project

Since I am building python2 why should I need to have python3.4? Does it mean that opencv 3.1 does not support python2?
