Install OpenCV in Ubuntu 20.04 not working

Hello,

I have done the following to install Open CV in Ubuntu 20.04

sudo apt update sudo apt install libopencv-dev python3-opencv

I get following output on the CLI

sudo apt-get install python3-opencv Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: python3-opencv 0 to upgrade, 1 to newly install, 0 to remove and 7 not to upgrade. Need to get 1,214 kB of archives. After this operation, 7,008 kB of additional disk space will be used. Get:1 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 python3-opencv amd64 4.2.0+dfsg-5 [1,214 kB] Fetched 1,214 kB in 1s (1,076 kB/s)

There is no cv2 module. I have read a few web posts from others, and I am not running a virtual environment...I have tried to uninstall and reinstall..no effect

any help is welcome
