ALL,

New to Python and OpenCV - trying to follow the tutorials.

Created Python 2.7.11 environments (32b & 64b) with Miniconda Included numpy 1.10.4 & matplotlib 1.5.1 Added opencv (3.1.0) cv2.pyd to the sit-packages from opencv build\python\2.7[x64|x86]\cv2.pyd

Entered environment and did the following: (Note: this is the x64 output, x86 was identical.)

Now - I'm pretty sure that the img object should have had something other than black/white in the array - How would I troubleshoot/Debug this? Is there an incompatibility with OpenCV and the stack(s) created?

Thanks - Tony
