Enhancement - Set OpenCV Image about python-tesseract HOT 9 CLOSED

Can't make it work
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/_tesseract.so: undefined 
symbol: cvSetData

What is the version of opencv u are using?

thank u for your code anyway

Thanks for looking on my proposed enhancement! I'm using OpenCV 2.1.0 lib which 
is in the Ubuntu repositories.

Have you linked the _tesseract.so also with the OpenCV lib? I added cv as 
additional library in setup.py script, I thought it is sufficient... Perhaps it 
also needs a cxcore part 
(http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/CompileOpenCVUsingLinux)?

Tesseract-ocr is now included in the download list
http://code.google.com/p/python-tesseract/downloads/list

I tried this patch and it works great. Just a note: If you are running OpenCv2, 
all the references to the string "cv.iplimage" need to be changed to 
"cv2.cv.iplimage". But other than that, it works as advertised. Thanks to the 
OP.

I am confused. Why will need to include opencv2? Why not install python-opencv 
instead?

Updated ... 
http://python-tesseract.googlecode.com/files/python-tesseract_0.7-1.3_amd64.deb

Could you send me simple script on how to use your added functions/methods?

Many thanks 

This is an enhancement, not a defect.

Done!
