The Cookbook for Python does not explain how to install the 'cv' module (Bug #1055)
Description
The Cookbook
http://opencv.willowgarage.com/documentation/python/cookbook.html
dives straight into how you use the 'cv' module without first having a section explaining the ways in which this module can be obtained and installed.
I've been having quite a bit of trouble getting the new 'cv' module installed on my system (Mac OS X 10.6). There seems to be a lot of confusing info out there on blogs and the like related to getting old and now defunct(?) Python bindings, so as far as I can tell the best way to get the bindings for OpenCV 2.2 is to build and install OpenCV from source after installing Numpy.
I had various problems with the OpenCV build system not recognizing Numpy after I'd installed it, but I figured those out and updated the wiki to hopefully help others avoid those problems in future. However, running |make install| still doesn't seem to install the 'cv' module for any version of Python on my system.
Given the difficulties of obtaining and installing the 'cv' module, it seems to me like there should definitely be a section on this in the Cookbook.
