How to find a compatible version of opencv to install to python 3.5.2 in python anywhere project?

Hi, I've tried many different versions of opencv to install to try to get it to work with python 3.5.2 but I can't seem to find any that work with this version of python. Has anyone been able to find a compatible version of opencv for this version of python that works when installing with the bash console?

Thanks

Unfortunately that's not possible right now. The version of OpenCV we have installed is the operating system's default version (2.4.9). The Python 3-compatible versions of the OpenCV bindings require 3.0. And we can't change the OS installed version without breaking the code of everyone who's using it already :-(

We will produce a new system image at a later date in which we'll have OpenCV 3.0 installed, along with the Python 2 and 3 bindings, but I can't give a timeline on that -- it's quite a big job. However, I've added an upvote against the issue in our task-tracker so that we know that more people are asking for it!

Hi, has this been done? I need to be able to 'import cv2' for my deep learning code. Thanks.

Ignore me, I have pip installed me. Thanks.
