ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import & can't read cv.imread()

Question

I am trying to run this code:

import cv2

img=cv2.imread("1.jpg")
cv2.imshow("image",img)
cv2.waitkey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

The problem I keep getting is this error report:

 from .cv2 import *
ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import

& i'am also installed opencv-python for cv2 cv2 is working. but i can't use cv2.imread()

Could you please help me?

Answer 1

Maybe that's because your'e using bad version of numpy. You can fix it like this:

python3 -m pip install numpy -I 

Please check the compatible version for your platform and reinstall it specifying the version number in above command.
