I just installed SimpleCV Version 1.3 Superpack and it installs Python 2.7 and all the libraries included. I tried to run it, got this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "G:\images.py", line 1, in module
from SimpleCV import Camera
ImportError: No module named SimpleCV

Is there a version would work with Python 3.5?

I have Windows 8.1 x64, thanks!

  • For the record, I tried to `pip3 install simplecv` and then `2to3` on installed SimpleCV directory, but no luck... After fixing errors about a few missing modules I got an error which made me feel, like it's a not an easy thing to fix and I gave up. – Anton Daneyko Jan 28 '20 at 20:44

To my knowledge there is (not yet) a Python 3 version of SimpleCV.

But OpenCV runs under Python 3. Pre-compiled windows binaries can be found here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#opencv

  • i have tried all that but nothing seems to work, I have been trying to access my webcam and its not working, I tried pygame and opencv and simplecv , videocaptire, nothing is working, although It worked fine with Jave on eclipse, any suggestions ? – Mr Mohamed Feb 06 '16 at 21:05
  • @MohamedGabr Is it a standard V4L webcam or are you using some special camera/library? – NoBugs Jul 06 '16 at 06:14

To take pictures with your webcam try Pygame: How to programmatically capture a webcam photo

I found that link very helpful, precisely jstbueno's comment. Excerpt from the site.

enter code here

import pygame.camera
pygame.camera.init()
cam = pygame.camera.Camera(pygame.camera.list_cameras()[0])
cam.start()
img = cam.get_image()
import pygame.image
pygame.image.save(img, "photo.bmp")
pygame.camera.quit()

You could also pull it from Github and install it pretty easily.

git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv.git

    That's the *OpenCV* library, not SimpleCV... and what's the benefit of grabbing it from a GitHub account rather than the OS package manager or Pip? – NoBugs Jul 06 '16 at 06:14
