ImportError: No module named opencv.cv

Question

I installed opencv on Linux Mint using:

sudo apt-get install python-opencv

When I attempt to import the opencv module using:

from opencv.cv import *

I receive the error:

from opencv.cv import *
ImportError: No module named opencv.cv

Any idea why this error is occurring and how to resolve the problem?

Try doing

import cv

from cv import *
