Opencv-python: python3.8 is out

[0trenixjetix]

Could you add support to it please?

[skvark]

3.8 builds will be added when the whole toolchain supports it. Afaik Appveoyr does not have Python 3.8 available but I hope it will be added soon: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/windows-images-software/#python

Manylinux added support yesterday: https://github.com/pypa/manylinux/commit/f9ef8165438a149121a404c93abce93e825d6b6a

macOS is also ok: https://github.com/matthew-brett/multibuild/commit/8c8d6e60828aa4e02d17cc2c130f0edea58d0f10

Given that AppVeyor seems to be asleep at the wheel on Python 3.8, does it make sense to shift the Windows tests to Travis or others?

[maximveksler]

We should see which CI gets there first. Another option is manually installing and compiling python before building the wheel. That's a workaround, but highly impractical one.

Travis already supports Python 3.8 on Linux and Windows: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/python/#running-python-tests-on-multiple-operating-systems

[skvark]

Pull requests are welcome. However, there seems to be a fast workaround now https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/3142#issuecomment-545950043. It's quite a lot faster to implement the workaround than to setup the Travis Windows support.

🚀 Python 3.8 is now available on AppVeyor:

@skvark , can we expect work on Python 3.8 support to begin soon?

[Rukario]

I've waited for 3.8 support...

[skvark]

Python 3.8 wheels will be released when I have the time to fix the builds. multibuild upgrade broke something and that needs to be fixed to get the macOS & Linux builds working. Appveyor is not a blocking issue, I would have already released new version without these additional issues.

[yangspeaking]

waiting for 3.8 support. Thanks for the effort!

[ygwangthu]

wait too :-)

[skvark]

It seems that I found the multibuild issue and the pre-build stage proceeds now normally. I hope that I get new releases out during this week.

Just a heads up for those who might be still using Python 3.4: it's in EOL and I will drop it from build matrix so no new releases coming for 3.4 anymore. Python 2.7 will be also dropped by the end of this year.

Just a heads up for anyone looking for unofficial pre built wheels for python 3.8, you can find them here: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#opencv

(Windows only as of this moment, either 32 or 64 bit)

i download a wheel file from that site and install, but it says:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement opencv_python-4.1.2-cp38-cp38-win_amd64 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for opencv_python-4.1.2-cp38-cp38-win_amd64

[skvark]

3.4.8 wheels will be in PyPI during the next 20 hours. 4.1.2 will follow tomorrow when 3.4.8 builds have finished.

@viponedream This is not a support forum for Gohlke's custom wheels. They are not related to this repository. Please ask your question for example at Stack Overflow.

[skvark]

Most of the 4.1.2 wheels with Python 3.8 support are now available in PyPI. Some Windows wheels are still building, but they will be done in the next few hours.

Shall we have aarch64 too?

[skvark]

ARM support in the Python packaging ecosystem is not yet mature. For example, there a no ARM wheels for numpy in PyPI (OpenCV build depends on numpy).

There are open issues about ARM builds for different Python projects (including this project: https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/issues/13). For more information, see following issues:

• ARM builds? https://github.com/pypa/manylinux/issues/84
• Why does warehouse allow linux_armv6l and linux_armv7l wheels? https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/3668

[sol-prog]

@skvark I think the armv6l and armv7l wheels are meant for Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black users. For example RPi Zero needs armv6l wheels, RPi 2 and up use the armv7l wheels.

What about Jetson?

@sol-prog Yes, I know (also many other devices are running on armv6, armv7, armv8 architectures like most of the worlds smartphones). You can get custom ARM wheels for Raspberry Pi from https://www.piwheels.org/. And please note that they work reliably only on Raspberry Pi.

@HEBOS As I wrote, you need to wait that the upstream projects and infrastructure supports building ARM wheels with reasonable effort. Currently it's not possible. However, you can always build opencv-python from sources locally on your device: clone this repository and run python setup.py bdist_wheel.
