When will opencv-python support numpy 2.0? about opencv-python

[asmorkalov]

Error message for googling:

python3.9
Python 3.9.5 (default, Nov 23 2021, 15:27:38) 
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import cv2 as cv

A module that was compiled using NumPy 1.x cannot be run in
NumPy 2.0.0 as it may crash. To support both 1.x and 2.x
versions of NumPy, modules must be compiled with NumPy 2.0.
Some module may need to rebuild instead e.g. with 'pybind11>=2.12'.

If you are a user of the module, the easiest solution will be to
downgrade to 'numpy<2' or try to upgrade the affected module.
We expect that some modules will need time to support NumPy 2.

Patch: #1002
Release: https://github.com/opencv/opencv-python/releases/tag/84

[asmorkalov]

OpenCV team works on new packages release. As short term solution you can re-build OpenCV-Python package with Numpy 2 from sources.

ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import

I checked the source code https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/4bf95ac2df822db8608c94d891f5edf8c549a03f/modules/python/package/cv2/__init__.py#L12 seems this numpy.core.multiarray is only imported but not used anywhere.

I still see this import error on Ubuntu 22.0.4 LTS - but not on macOS - because the build system is pulling numpy 2 instead of numpy 1.x:
