I encounted the same problem and tried many things, including install/uninstall various camelot packages, cloning git, etc. It didn't work for me. I found that the issue was related to CV2. Server (headless) environments do not have GUI packages installed so if you are using Camelot on the server with no GUI you should instal opencv-python-headless first:

pip install opencv-python-headless

and then import in along with camelot.io insteatd of camelot:

import camelot.io as camelot
import cv2

This error most likely occured because you installed the wrong package.

When you installed the camelot module, you should have used this:

pip install camelot-py[cv]

If not, uninstall the package you installed and use the above command.
