Description

Hi! I used docker pull openvino/ubuntu20_dev image to run : docker run --platform=linux/amd64 -it --rm openvino/ubuntu20_dev:latest /bin/bash -c "python3 samples/python/hello_query_device/hello_query_device.py" , but when I tried to run python3.8 or python3.9 and import cv2, I got the following: `openvino@5aaf45edc5ee:/opt/intel/openvino_2025.1.0.0$ python3.9
Python 3.9.5 (default, Nov 23 2021, 15:27:38)
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux

import cv2

ImportError: OpenCV loader: missing configuration file: ['config-3.9.py', 'config-3.py']. Check OpenCV installation.`. My question in can use opencv provided by the Opnevino ?

Research direction

Start with openvino_cg_dev_2025.1.0.dockerfile and reproduce the reported docker run command inside openvino/ubuntu20_dev:latest. Check how the bundled OpenCV Python files are configured for Python 3.8 and 3.9; done means establishing whether cv2 imports successfully or documenting the supported usage and limitation.
