Opencv-python Alternatives

opencv-python reviews and mentions

• Advanced Python Features
  3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 Apr 2025

  Extra stuff like type checking and annotations are definitely not the reason why python became that popular and widely adapted and used, but it certainly doesn't hurt to add and use them.

  To be clear, I'm not expecting people to start adding generics to their quick hacked together Python scripts (in fact please don't do that). Instead, if you're building a library or maintaining a larger Python codebase, a lot of these start becoming very useful. A lot of the typing features I mentioned are already used by Python under the hood, and that a lot of Python developers just take for granted.

  Case in point, the python-opencv (https://github.com/opencv/opencv-python) library has basically no types and it's an absolute pain to work with.

  BTW thats a really good SO thread, thanks for linking it!

• How hard is to write scripts for image processing instead of paying pro photo editors?
  1 project | /r/Python | 25 Sep 2023

  There are several modules that would allow you to process images in Python. Two of the perhaps most famous ones are PIL (https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/, also known as pillow), and opencv (https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python/).

  I would try installing opencv-python on its own to see if you can learn more: https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python/

• Need help to choose toolchain for setting up a video streaming server on my PC.
  2 projects | /r/learnpython | 23 Feb 2023

  I've been googling and reading for a while but I'm very unsure about which tools I need, which tools will help me achieve what I want the easiest way. What about (pylivestream)[https://pypi.org/project/pylivestream/] for example? Will this do the job for me? What about a lower level approach including (pyopencv)[https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python/]? What about a higher level approach using (vidgear)[https://github.com/abhiTronix/vidgear], which seems promising but I don't feel confident in assessing if it's the tool I really need?

• I am a newbie who needs help with automation and stuff

  This is likely to be buggy and frustrating, and it's very likely that you'll need to use OpenCV to preprocess the screenshot. Not my idea of a good time!
