https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python20.10.2021 · Q: Why the package and import are different (opencv-python vs. cv2)? A: It's easier for users to understand opencv-python than cv2 and it makes it easier to find the package with search engines. cv2 (old interface in old OpenCV versions was named as cv ) is the name that OpenCV developers chose when they created the binding generators.
