I have just installed OpenCV on my Windows 7 machine. As a result I get a new directory:

C:\OpenCV2.2\Python2.7\Lib\site-packages

In this directory I have two files: cv.lib and cv.pyd.

Then I try to use the opencv from Python. I do the following:

import sys
sys.path.append('C:\OpenCV2.2\Python2.7\Lib\site-packages')
import cv

As a result I get the following error message:

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

What am I doing wrong?

ADDED

As it was recommended here, I have copied content of C:\OpenCV2.0\Python2.6\Lib\site-packages to the C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages. It did not help.
