1)It's not cv2.videoCapture() but try instead cv2.VideoCapture().

Python 2.7.18rc1 (default, Apr  7 2020, 12:05:55) 
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import cv2
>>> vid = cv2.videoCapture(0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'videoCapture'
>>> vid = cv2.VideoCapture(0) #like that it works fine.
>>>

Try to install opencv with the command pip install opencv-pythonor pip install opencv-contrib-python, and check if you still get the "unable to import cv2" error
