I am trying to install dlib on my raspberry py for a computer vision project with opencv. I installed successfully opencv, and I can import cv2 module in python.
$ python
>>> import cv2
>>> cv2.__version__
'3.3.0'
>>>
Then I installed 2 modules with pip install: dlib and imutils. I can see them in pip freeze:
$ pip freeze | grep dlib
dlib==19.10.0
$ pip freeze | grep imutils
imutils==0.4.6
But the problem is that in python i can't import them, python does not find them and I can't use them.
>>> import dlib
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named dlib
>>> import imutils
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named imutils
How can I fix this problem?

Your system has pip symlinked to pip3, so when you use pip, it installs packages for python3. Use the pip2 to target pip for python2:
$ pip2 install dlib imutils
It may be the case that you don't have pip installed for python2. In this case, you have to install it separately. Judging by dist-packages in the sys.path, you have a debian or some derivative, so most probably you'll have to apt install python2-pip to add pip2 to the system.
