I’ve installed opencv multiple times even compiled it but the error keeps returning
cv2.error: OpenCV(4.10.0) D:\a\opencv-python\opencv-python\opencv\modules\highgui\src\window.cpp:1301: error: (-2:Unspecified error) The function is not implemented. Rebuild the library with Windows, GTK+ 2.x or Cocoa support. If you are on Ubuntu or Debian, install libgtk2.0-dev and pkg-config, then re-run cmake or configure script in function ‘cvShowImage’
how did you install opencv?
what does the error say?
what does the internet say about the error?
on windows vscode terminal, i entered : pip install opencv-python
Ive tried reinstalling it and nothing seems to work for me
it made me frustrated
ive seen several post with the same problem and nothing works
nothing works?

that can’t be. where is the opencv-python-headless or opencv-contrib-python-headless that caused the exception message?
how many pythons and virtual environments do you have? what IDEs have you installed? are you using any docker or VM or WSL/WSL2? do you have more than one computer?
you’d best find a place that helps you with your beginner python troubles. this is going way beyond the scope of OpenCV support. I can’t possibly guess what is going on with your system.
