Ive recently upgraded to Big Sur, and also Python 3.9. and opencv 4.4.0.46 (latest) Now my imshow does not show anything. I can see the python launcher running, but no window appears.

I am currently experimenting with installing an older version. I had some success with 4.4.0.40 and im now trying 4.4.0.44

and opencv 4.4.0.46 (latest)

no, not latest (which would be 4.5.0)

but it's probably the latest from pip which seemed to have some flaws there.

please at least add the resp. part of your code to your question, so we can check if it's not that

4.5 isnt avaiable yet for Python. But ive gone to 4.4.0.44 and that works, so something is off in the latest python build. Ill wait and see when the next release happens and go from there. Perhaps we will have 4.5 soon.

My code is like 4 lines :) and is def working now with .44

img = cv2.imread("face2.jpg")
img = cv2.resize(img, (100, 100))
cv2.imshow(mat=img, winname="tt")
cv2.waitKey()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

OpenCV 4.5.0 is available on python

so something is off in the latest python build.

again, that is specific to the way the pip thing is built (conflicting qt versions), not really an opencv problem (they don't maintain any python bninaries)

Sorry @berak. Big Sur is latest advanced desktop operating system in the world. Will have to wait.

you are going to need to contact the maintainer of that python package, skvarg. he will need to figure out what's going on, whether it's a build issue or a bug in OpenCV. for a link to an issue (and the github repo of the package), see berak's first comment.
