AttributeError: module 'cv2.cv2' has no attribute 'freetype' with opencv-contrib-python

[SIRHAMY]

Expected behaviour

I'm trying to use cv2 with freetype and all the documentation basically says that you just need to pip install opencv-contrib-python in order to get this to work. But it throws an AttributeError on this line: free_type = cv2.freetype.createFreeType2()

Actual behaviour

AttributeError when trying to access freetype

Steps to reproduce

• Create a new python file
• create a new conda env
• pip install opencv-contrib-python

import cv2

free_type = cv2.freetype.createFreeType2()

• operating system: Ubuntu
• opencv-python version: opencv-contrib-python==4.1.1.26
