RaspberryPi: ImportError: No module named cv2 in Geany

Question

I installed opencv in RaspberryPi (using this link)and import in termial and python3 (idle). It shows no error in these two as shown in below images.

But, when I tried to run import cv2 in Geany, it shows error given below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "import.py", line 1, in <module>
    import cv2
ImportError: No module named cv2

How I can solve this problem?

Does geany point to your python3 installation or to python 2? If no, go here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29105941/how-do-i-make-python3-the-default-python-in-geany — Dschoni, Jun 17 '19 at 11:58

I solved this problem by changing python to python3 in Geany. For this, Go to Build->Set Build Commands in Geany menu. In Set Build Commandswindow, under Python commands label in compile line python m py_compile will be there. Similarly, under Executive commands label in executive line python "%f" will be there. I changed python m py_compile into python3 m py_compile and python "%f" into python3 "%f" (as shown in images 1 and 2) and above-mentioned problem get solved.
