request : opencv-contrib

[TheBricktop]

Is it possible to generate stubs for opencv-contrib ? I've tried to use stubgen but it is not helping at all, the only proper stubs ive found are here but they lack some of the contrib modules (like aruco and rgbd).

We don't really have a way to generate stubs; the stubs in this repo are hand-maintained.

So the only way now is using the documentation generator or sth like this to create stubs manually or maybe even do a simple script to automate the process.

Given that opencv can now generates python stubs and opencv-python has been updated to ship them, you can try the in-development version using pip install git+https://github.com/opencv/opencv-python.git.

You can set the appropriate environment variables first if you'd like to install a specific package (like headless, contrib or healdless-contrib):

ENABLE_CONTRIB=1
ENABLE_HEADLESS=1

It should work as-is with pyright and mypy, but for Pylance you'll have to remove the bundled stubs every time you update the extension. It can be found at: %HOMEPATH%\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.vscode-pylance-<VERSION>\dist\bundled\stubs\cv2-stubs (where <VERSION> is your current Pylance version).

If the issue persists, you can raise it upstream.
