opencv-python: ERROR: Failed building wheel for opencv-python: [ FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '_skbuild/linux-armv7l-3.9/cmake-install/python/cv2/config-3.py' ]

Expected behaviour

I tried to install opencv-python in my virtual environment and was expecting the opencv-python library v4.7.0.72 to be installed succesfully. Even after multiple tries and trying different solutions/workarounds found online, nothing seems to help.

Actual behaviour

The build runs for ±3 hours, goes to 100% and then later on fails during installation phase of the project. Following error is being returned: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘_skbuild/linux-armv7l-3.9/cmake-install/python/cv2/config-3.py’ error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

  Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
  many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
  installed.

  We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:

      https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html

  Please note and check the following:

    * The Python version is: Python3.9 from "/home/username/Desktop/MyApp/venv/bin/python"
    * The NumPy version is: "1.19.3"

  and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
  Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.

  Original error was: libcblas.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I had no luck with #820, but pinning the scikit-build version in pyproject.toml to 0.17.1 everything worked again (without this 0.17.3 is installed):

---  "scikit-build>=0.13.2",
+++  "scikit-build==0.17.1",

I tested 0.17.2 and it fails with

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'

This was fixed in 0.17.3, but there seems to be some other change in there that’s breaking things. Is there any reason to not pin this version for the builds?

config-XXX.py is named differently depending on LIMITED_API option. https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/4.x/modules/python/common.cmake#L210 CI build enabled LIMITED_API by default and it works well. You can add -DPYTHON3_LIMITED_API=ON to CMake options to work around the issue. See https://github.com/opencv/opencv-python/blob/4.x/setup.py#L179 and https://github.com/opencv/opencv-python/blob/4.x/setup.py#L251

We had this issue recently and found it was due to cmake not creating the opencv python library cv2.abi3.so. Check back on the build logs from cmake and look at the lines that say:

--   OpenCV modules:
--     To be built:

make sure that python3 is in this list (as it likely isn’t). Further up in the logs I could then see the following error:

-- Found PythonInterp: /venv/bin/python3.10 (found suitable version "3.10.13", minimum required is "3.2") 
-- Found PythonLibs: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.10.so (found suitable exact version "3.10.13") 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy'

For me the fix was just to install numpy first. Change the Dockerfile in https://github.com/opencv/opencv-python/issues/814#issuecomment-1763476069 to install it before build:

- RUN python3.10 -m pip install scikit-build
+ RUN python3.10 -m pip install scikit-build numpy

It looks like I was able to reproduce the issue with my Pi 3b. Will take a look if I can propose some workaround before the next release.

I had the same problem. Try it “sudo apt install python3-opencv”

Hrm, nope.

dpkg --list | grep python3-dev ii libpython3-dev:armhf 3.9.2-3 armhf header files and a static library for Python (default) ii python3-dev 3.9.2-3 armhf header files and a static library for Python (default)

6 hours later…

    File "setup.py", line 411, in _classify_installed_files_override
      with open(config_py, 'w') as opencv_init_config:
  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '_skbuild/linux-armv7l-3.9/cmake-install/python/cv2/config-3.py'

Pretty much always the same thing; this was with 4.9.0.80.

Probably, I installed numpy before running setup.py. Also here you can check my working Dockerfile for building wheel

@asmorkalov I tried to build opencv-python package into docker and got same error. How can I handle it?
