I am creating a face recognition system using Python and OpenCV on these versions:

Python 3.6.2 (64-bit)
OpenCV 3.3.0

When I try to train the face recognizer:

face_recognizer = cv2.face.createLBPHFaceRecognizer()

and also I tried 

face_recognizer = cv2.createLBPHFaceRecognizer()

It gave me attribute error

AttributeError: module 'cv2.cv2' has no attribute 'createLBPHFaceRecognizer'

When I tried

pip install opencv-python

I got these errors 

Exception:

I'd been facing the same issue recently. Here's a list of things that went wrong:

  1. You need to uninstall opencv before installing opencv-contrib
  2. Make sure no console is running that has imported cv2 while you execute your installing process
  3. Run the cmd in Administration Mode (Go to the .exe of the cmd program, right click and select 'Run as Administrator')

This should work. Hope this helps!

In case of windows, in cmd try to run pip install using python executable

python -m pip install opencv-python

You can use the below command i.e add user to the command

pip install --user opencv-contrib-python
