[Fixed]-attributeerror: partially initialized module 'cv2' has no attribute 'gapi_wip_gst_gstreamerpipeline' (most likely due to a circular import)

Fixed the same problem with opencv-python-4.6.0.66.

I solved this error by just downgrading OpenCV. You can follow this command:

pip install opencv-python==4.5.5.64

The same problem was fixed by the following steps:

> pip list
  opencv-contrib-python 4.6.0.66
  opencv-python         4.5.4.58
  

Upgraded opencv-python to 4.6.0.66 using the command:

pip install opencv-python==4.6.0.66

And that fixed it.

Upgrading OpenCV solved the issue for me:

!pip install opencv-python==4.6.0.66

The same error occurred with opencv-python version 3.4.4.19. Upgrading to version 3.4.5.20 solved the problem.

This issue can occur due to multiple versions of OpenCV being installed. To check the versions of OpenCV installed, run:

pip list | grep opencv

If it shows that 2 versions of OpenCV are installed, proceed to remove one of them.

To resolve the "AttributeError: partially initialized module 'cv2' has no attribute 'gapi_wip_gst_gstreamerpipeline' (most likely due to a circular import)" error, you can try the following solutions:

1. This error typically occurs when there is a circular import in your code or when there are conflicting versions of OpenCV installed on your system.
2. If you suspect a circular import, carefully review your code to identify and resolve any circular dependencies. Circular imports can often be avoided by restructuring your code or using import statements more selectively.
3. If the error persists and you suspect conflicting OpenCV versions, ensure that you have installed OpenCV correctly and that there are no multiple versions installed in different locations.
4. Try uninstalling and reinstalling OpenCV using pip:

pip uninstall opencv-python
pip install opencv-python

5. If you are using a virtual environment, make sure that it is activated when installing and running your code to ensure that the correct version of OpenCV is being used.
6. If you are still encountering the error, consider upgrading or downgrading your OpenCV version to a more stable or compatible release.
7. Lastly, check for any updates or patches to the OpenCV library that may address compatibility issues or bugs related to the AttributeError.
