Python import works in app but not in command prompt or script

Question

Command Prompt Pic:

They both clearly show their versions match so I'm at a loss for what to do here.

Answer 1

Try printing out where Python app is picking up the module cv2:

>>> import cv2
>>> print(cv2.__file__)

Then you can see if your user has the right access to the directory.

You can always install the missing module in the Command Prompt to your local user site-packages by:

pip3 install --user <module name>

You can also run on the command prompt:

python -m site

This will show you the directories Python is looking in for module.
