Opencv-python: Version 4.3.0 not available on pypi

[petoknm]

When can we expect version 4.3.0 to hit pypi?

[skvark]

There is no official timeline. 4.3.0 cannot be compiled with the current toolchain on Linux because the manylinux1 compiler (or actually it's too old glibc which causes problems) is too old. 4.3.0 and 3.4.10 will be released once I have completed testing new manylinux2014 builds (builds are working, but they require some testing and checks for dependencies): https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/issues/309

Branch: https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/tree/feat/manylinux2014

Hello @skvark, pretty interested in this as well.

[GaborSari]

Same excited, especially for non-patent SIFT.

[skvark]

Yeah, it just takes some time since I'm doing this on my free time which is rather limited. I'll have to port the 3.4 branch to manylinux2014 before any releases can be made.

How update on 4.3.0 release? Has some juicy things in it

@skvark Anything we can do to help? Testing, etc?

Qt5 which has been installed via CentOS package manager does not work properly or there's some config wrong somewhere. Next thing is to try custom Qt5 build to see if the error can be avoided that way. Details are at https://github.com/skvark/opencv-python/issues/309

Regarding manual build, have u look at C++ package managers?
this one is actively contributed https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg

thank you very much for your work !

3.4.10 release builds are now in progress. 4.3.0 will come after they are done.

[johnthagen]

4.3.0 released!

Thanks @skvark for all of your hard work!

macOS builds for Python 3.5 were not uploaded to PyPI due to SSL error. I'll have to check if that can be fixed somehow. However, I think it's not a big issue since 3.5 will be EOL in couple of months anyways.

My personal opinion is that it would be fine to drop 3.5 at this point. Many packages already dropped lower than 3.6 so that they could use f-strings and variable type annotations (needed for dataclasses, etc).
