ImportError: cannot import name 'VideoCapture'

I'm writing a quick Python script that uses VideoCapture. At the start of the script, I have this:

 from skvideo.io import VideoCapture

When I run the script, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "getVids.py", line 4, in <module>
    from skvideo.io import VideoCapture
ImportError: cannot import name 'VideoCapture'

When I run:

pip3 install skvideo

I get:

Collecting skvideo
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement skvideo (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for skvideo

Any idea how to fix / where to go from here?

Thanks!

This smells like an environment variable problem. You shouldn't need sudo or administrator privileges to do this.

First, make sure that you run your script inside a virtual environment:

  1. Create a Virtualenv: virtualenv my_env
  2. Activate it: source my_env/bin/activate
  3. Install your requirements: pip install sk-video
  4. Run your script: python getVids.py
