Hello, I am pretty new to Python and OpenCV. Hope someone can help me solve the issue.

I am with a MacBook Pro M1 Max - Sonoma 14 and followed the following steps to install everything:

```auto
---------------------------------------------------
conda create --name opencv-env
conda activate
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
---------------------------------------------------

```

Everything worked fine:  
opencv is 4.8.1  
python is 3.12

I was able to open visual studio and run a simple project.py, but I cannot make the AUTOCOMPLETE to work and this is essential to my learning.

my environment is set at:  
/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniforge/base/envs/opencv-env/bin/python  
opencv-python in ./lib/python3.12/site-packages (4.8.1) is satisfyed

Has anyone know how to fix this?  
Thank you in advance

OpenCV has official packages for python. you should use them.

neither conda nor conda-forge are supported here. conda-forge is third-party. if you need support for that, you should contact them.
