Description

I have the following installed in a virtualenv with Python 3.6.4:

opencv-python==3.4.0.12
opencv-contrib-python==3.4.0.12

on a OSX 10.13.3. I had expected the compiled viz code and corresponding Python bindings.

https://docs.opencv.org/3.4.1/d9/d62/namespacecv_1_1viz.html

Neither of them are present. I'd never installed OpenCV on this machine. I've historically gone through the installation process manually, which isn't pleasant, and I've been able to access the viz module both via C++ and Python on Linux and Mac.

The prospect of being able to install everything without having to compile binaries is compelling, and I'd love for this to work. Is this behavior expected? If so, is there any plan to support the viz module in the future?

Research direction

Start by checking the installed opencv-python and opencv-contrib-python packages against the OpenCV 3.4.1 viz module documentation linked in the issue, using the reported Python 3.6.4 and macOS setup. Determine whether the compiled viz code and Python bindings are absent from the distributions, then establish whether supporting them is expected and what package-build changes would define completion.
