I have been asked to install the cv library on Ubuntu, using python.

From what I have read, it seems OpenCV has discontinued support for cv and only cv2 is used now. Am I correct? Regardless, does anyone know how I can get this library?

Thank you in advance!

can you clarify your actual needs ?

if you have legacy code, that only runs on the deprecated c-api, you can still install some older opencv version (but again - any chance to re-write it, so it will run on more modern installations ?)
if you're planning to write new code, use cv2
