Description
I used the "pip install opencv-contrib-python" method and if I run the following:
import cv2
print(cv2.getBuildInformation())
I can plainly see that GStreamer isn't enabled. I'm not very adept at the sublteties of pip, wheels, brew, etc. I've look over lots of articles that attempt to walk through building and installing opencv with GStreamer, but I haven't found anything specific to opencv-python. Ultimately, I nave not succeeded yet in installing opencv with GStreamer support (I'm on a Mac).
Does anyone know how to just make this work?
Thank you.

Start with the reported pip install opencv-contrib-python command and cv2.getBuildInformation() output on macOS, then review the project's package and build documentation for GStreamer support in published wheels. Done means a documented, reproducible installation path or a clearly stated limitation; the issue names no source file or test.
