ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'

Expected Result

a successful install

What happened instead?

It failed to install the opencv-python dep because it seems to require distutils

Additional Info

I started from the most recent release of opencv-python and worked backwards and found that they all fail with the same error unless I either install either:

opencv-python==4.6.0.66

• or-
  opencv-python==4.5.5.64

[ckot]

while installing an older version of opencv-python allowed me into install this package, I discovered later one that some of the optional backends, such as mediapipe couldn't be installed. I don't remember which ones. Anyway, I disovered that downgrading my python to 3.10 allowed me to them all.

[ckot]

python 3.11 is working as well. so I guess it's just a problem with python 3.12 installing both the main package and some of the optional deps

[serengil]

Thank you for the information. I will not close this issue for a while in case of smo would have it, too. But I will not take any action in the library, too. That is a dependency problem. You may consider to raise an issue in opencv's repo. Cheers!

[ckot]

Someone already beat me to creating the issue in their repo. Just thought you'd like to know installation on python==3.12 fails due to this dep issue, as I noticed that you only have python3.8 in your test matrix, and may have been unaware. Isn't software maintenance fun 😄
