try this :

face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('/home/programmer/Desktop/project/cascades/data/cascades/data/haarcascade_fontalface_alt2.xml')
if face_cascade.empty() :
        print("Le fichier ne peut etre lu. Verifier le chemin du fichier")
        print("File cannot be read. Check file path")
        print("Datei kann nicht gelesen werden. Dateipfad überprüfen")
        print("ບໍ່ສາມາດອ່ານໄຟລ໌ໄດ້. ກວດເບິ່ງເສັ້ນທາງໄຟລ໌")
        print("Dosja nuk mund të lexohet. Kontrollo rrugën e skedarit")
        print("Il file non può essere letto. Controlla il percorso del file")
        print("ファイルを読み込めません。 ファイルパスを確認する")
        print("文件无法读取。 检查文件路径")
        print("No se puede leer el archivo. Verifique la ruta del archivo")
        return

You have duplicated path? /cascades/data/cascades/data/ It could be like this /cascades/data/haarcascade_fontalface_alt2.xml. Even, if you not sure, why not put haarcascade_fontalface_alt2.xml in your currently folder and see what happen.
