OpenCV: Converting from NumPy to IplImage in Python

I have an image that I load using cv2.imread(). This returns an NumPy array. However, I need to pass this into a 3rd party API that requires the data in IplImage format.

I've scoured everything I could and I've found instances of converting from IplImage to CvMat,and I've found some references to converting in C++, but not from NumPy to IplImage in Python. Is there a function that is provided that can do this conversion?

2-way to apply:

  1. img = cv2.imread(img_path) img_buf = cv2.imencode('.jpg', img)[1].tostring()

  2. just read the image file: img_buf = open(img_path, 'rb').read()
