Troubleshooting OpenCV Version Conflict in Termux

[anishdevtech]

Problem

The current opencv-python version in the files is 4.8.0, but when attempting to install other modules that require opencv-python using pip in Termux, the installation is denied. This is because on pip, version 4.8.0 does not exist, but 4.8.0.74 does.

Solution

There are two possible solutions:

1. Request Devs to Change the Version: You can reach out to the developers of the module you want to install and request them to update their package requirements to allow for opencv-python 4.8.0.74 instead of 4.8.0.

2. Manual Version Change: If you are experienced and confident in handling system files, you can manually change the version of opencv-python. However, please note that modifying system files can be risky, and you should proceed with caution. Don't forget to create backups before making any changes.

Question to Devs

To proceed with the manual version change, you'll need to know the location of the version file in your system. So, my question to the developers is: where does the version file of opencv-python exist in the system, so that I can manually make the necessary changes?

Problem is not in versions. This is because module installed by opencv-python package is not visible by Pip.

Tht maybe right as pip can see numpy,matplotlib the issue is cv2 doesn't have a .dist-info file
