I installed opencv3 with conda, yet I can only import cv2... is this correct?

Question

I am anaconda on a mac os x Yosemite, running python 3.5. I used the following command from anaconda's website

conda install -c menpo opencv3=3.1.0

The terminal read out nothing to do with opencv2.

However, in the ipython console I am unable to import cv3. I get,

conda install -c menpo opencv3=3.1.0

Yet.... interestingly enough I able import cv2. I have read a bit that opencv can be a tricky and wily beast to get working...

Also anaconda specifically says that I have only the opencv3 package.

So, I am wondering... even though I am using opencv3 maybe for some reason it still uses cv2 as the package name to import?

Thanks for any insight!

Answer 1

Apparently, it is just that simple... import cv2 even if you have opencv3.x.

Thank you Miki.
