Cannot install opencv-python with pipenv and Python 3.8

Question

I just installed Python 3.8 on my Mac OS X (10.15.1) and was trying to add opencv-python to my pipenv project. I did the following:

$> pipenv install opencv-python
Installing dependencies from Pipfile.lock (ec16ad)…

What am I doing wrong? I thought pipenv was supposed to prevent all of these dependency errors...

Being python3.8 a recent version, many libraries (and among them those compiled as opencv) do not support it. The simple solution is to use python3.7 or lower. — eyllanesc

As @eyllanesc mentioned, kindly please try installing opencv-python for lower version for python e.g. python 3.7

Reason is still python 3.8 package not yet available for opencv-python as shown in below url .

I am running python 3.8.10 and had the same problem. Not sure why but when I tried the following it (finally) worked:

pipenv install opencv-python opencv-python-headless

Found the answer from another question
