This release bumps OpenCV version to 3.3.1 and closes some long standing issues, most notably video support for Linux and macOS.

Changes:

• Linux and macOS wheels ship now with FFmpeg (https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/issues/50, https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/issues/49, https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/issues/14)
• Linux wheels ship with libjpeg-turbo (https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/issues/52)
• Haarcascade xml files ship with the package, their path can be accessed via cv2.data.haarcascades (https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/issues/48)
• Package metadata updated (https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/pull/57)
• __init__.py cleaned up (https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/pull/55)

Thanks to Samuel Bishop (https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/pull/56), Jonathan Dekhtiar (https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/pull/57) and Ivan Pozdeev (https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/pull/55).

Changes:

• Linux and macOS wheels are now compiled with Qt 4.8.7. The necessary dependecies are embedded to the wheels. This should enable support for GUI features which means that e.g. cv2.imshow() works now.

Changes:

• OpenCV version updated to match the latest 3.3.0 release
• Import logic changed so that some IDE's are able to autocomplete the cv2 module (e.g. PyCharm)

Changes:

• Compiled extensions moved to platlib from purelib
  • makes the wheels PEP 491 compatible (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0491/#what-s-the-deal-with-purelib-vs-platlib)
  • this should also make it possible to build pex files (https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex) which include opencv-python
• License files moved to package_data into cv2 folder (thanks to Jon Winsley)

If you wish to install OpenCV with contrib modules, use https://pypi.python.org/pypi/opencv-contrib-python. Remember to uninstall opencv-python before installing opencv-contrib-python.

Changes:

• Numpy requirements relaxed (thanks to Adrian Moisey)
• OpenCV contrib builds added to separate PyPI entry

Also thanks to these previous contributors which I haven't properly attributed:

• Jon Winsley for refactoring Appveyor scripts
• Anatoly Techtonik for adding FFmpeg support to Windows builds

OpenCV version updated to 3.2.0. Python 3.3 support dropped.

Build artifacts: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/opencv-python

Same as 3.1.0.4 but includes also Windows wheels 😅

• adds support for Python 3.6 on all platforms
• adds Python 3.4 support on Windows
• excludes default build on Travis

Next release will be done with OpenCV version 3.2.0.

Note: Windows builds are missing due to a mistake on my side (ci skip tag :)), next release will have also Windows builds.

This release adds FFmpeg to Windows wheels.

• adds wheel for python 3.5 on OS X
• some cleaning in travis scripts

This release includes following fixes:

• build folder is now deleted on Appveyor between wheel builds (previous release had unnecessary libs inside wheels)
• numpy dependency is now numpy>=1.11.1 instead of numpy==1.11.1

This is the fisrt release to the official Python package index. OpenCV can be finally installed for Python easily via pip.

Packages can be browsed at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/opencv-python.

I would like to thank @c-martinez for his contributions which enabled Linux and OS X builds.

In the future new releases will be made for each new OpenCV 3.x.x release. If there are bugs or feature requests or some other things to consider, please open new issue. Enjoy!
