opencv have different version with python module

I have install the opencv to my ubuntu 14.04LTS,But I have got two version .After I have done the install.I try the below command:

pkg-config --modversion opencv

I got the version: 3.0.0 And when i work it on python shell

>>import cv2
>>cv2.__version__
'2.4.8'

When I follow this http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d5/d26/tutorial_py_knn_understanding.html#gsc.tab=0 I got some error said 'cv2 have not module 'ml''so,I find it's because i guess my opencv version did't match this tutorial! Can anyone help, why my opencv did't match the python mudule?

One more step is needed. You need to symbolically link your newly created library file -cv2.so- to your python package path. Details can be found in the last part of this instruction PyImageSearch article - Install OpenCV 3.0 and Python 2.7+ on Ubuntu

Since you already have OpenCV installed a linked library file already exists and you will need to remove it first. From a Docker Ubuntu 14.04LTS instance here if I run the 'file' command below it shows:

file /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cv2.so

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cv2.so: symbolic link to `/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cv2.so'

So you need to remove that symbolic link with 'rm' and create a new one with this command:

ln -s ~path to your new cv2.so file~ /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cv2.so

With that you should be able to fire up python, import cv2, and confirm the new version of OpenCV is enabled. Enjoy the tutorial.
