I'm literally just starting out, but already stuck .. I'm trying to get an image to display, but imshow() only opens an empty window. I don't get any errors, and the program doesn't hang (pressing a key closes the window just fine) - it's just that there is no image in the window.

I know that the image is loaded correctly, because I'm printing out the arrays and image data looks right. Also I can see that the window always has the correct _measurements_ for whichever image file I'm picking.

import numpy as np
import cv2

img = cv2.imread('butterfly.jpg', 0)
print(img)

cv2.imshow('Butterfly', img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Things I have tried (to no avail):

• using an absolute path instead
• adding cv2.startWindowThread(); cv2.namedWindow('Butterfly') before the imshow() command
• reading lots of posts with similar problems

I'm using Python3.6, on macOS (Mojave), cv2 v.4.0.1

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

-- Edit -- print(cv2.getBuildInformation()) gives me this:
