First check if this path is correct
C:\Users\SHIVANSHU\Anaconda3\python37\site-packages

If it is correct, then add this in system paths…
Using command…
import sys
sys.path.append(“C:\Users\SHIVANSHU\Anaconda3\python37\site-packages”)

And ensure that beforehand that you have opencv named folder in this path.

sjteckers1 · June 23, 2020, 6:25am

there is no such path

prashant_ml · June 23, 2020, 6:27am

Kindly unzip this file
C:\Users\SHIVANSHU\Anaconda3\python37.zip

And confirm does now that path exists or not.

sjteckers1 · June 23, 2020, 6:29am

there is no such zip file

sjteckers1 · June 23, 2020, 6:34am

there is python37.dll file

prashant_ml · June 23, 2020, 6:52am

What files do you have in this folder C:\Users\SHIVANSHU\Anaconda3

sjteckers1 · June 23, 2020, 7:15am

prashant_ml · June 23, 2020, 7:31am

Just check opencv module exists in any of these directories.

sjteckers1 · June 23, 2020, 2:43pm

it is located here C:\Users\SHIVANSHU\Lib\site-packages

prashant_ml · June 23, 2020, 2:49pm

add this pat to system paths using these

after is done try import cv2.

and remember to run this below code in a single cell for now.

import sys
sys.path.append(“C:\Users\SHIVANSHU\Lib\site-packages”)
import cv2
