I have been writing a python C++ extension that makes use of Intel's open computer vision library. I have been experiencing a bizarre problem.

When I attempt to run my module:

...

...

import cvdemo Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No such file or directory

I have found though that this will only occur when my c++ actually makes a call to opencv functions. If I comment all of those functions out, the module will be correctly imported (and I can execute all functions within it).

Literally, everything works fine until a line like:

cvDestroyWindow("result");

or:

cvNamedWindow( "result", 1 );

or: matrix= cvLoad( matrix_name, 0, 0, 0 );

is in the code.

Given how lacking in information python's import error is, I have no idea what is going on here. No compile errors are given either.

Please advise, Aaron Staley
