I am unable to get OpenCV to run in python.

I have installed OpenCV and tried to use it in python. I have tried to install it normally and by building it from the source as instructing on the openCV website. These are the errors i am given.

I am unable to attach screenshots of the errors because i am a new member and dont have enough karma so i will type out the errors.

When i try to use "import cv2" in idle python i get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module> import cv2 ImportError: No module named 'cv2'

And when i try to build from source CMake returns the error:

CMake Error: The source directory "C:/opencv" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt. Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

I Cant figure out the problem. Is anyone able to explain why it isnt working and what i need to do to make it work.

Thanks very much>
