Description
If it's possible, this would simplify installation (outside of full conda env or root apt permissions) of the shared libraries / headers in non-root environments.
There was some previous discussion on headers for linking for the python package cpp extension shared library: https://github.com/opencv/opencv-python/issues/22
But it might be better to have an option of installing full shared libraries/headers along via pip
