import cv2 error affected by ROS kinetic cv2 installation

Question

I encountered this error when attempting to run a python3 script with the line import cv2. Seems like it is affected by my ROS kinetic installation

    import cv2
ImportError: /opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cv2.so: undefined symbol: PyCObject_Type

@Fruchtzwerg yes seems like it could. But removing it from the bash file might cause other inconveniences. — fatbringer, Dec 15 '21 at 01:41

Found a simple workaround. Add this line to the top of the code

import sys 
sys.path.remove('/opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages')
