Any idea how I can get past that error when importing cv2?

File "C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 19.5.303\python39\lib\site-packages-forced\shiboken2\files.dir\shibokensupport\__feature__.py", line 142, in _import
return original_import(name, *args, **kwargs)
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing cv2: The specified module could not be found.

OK, I found a solution that worked well. Simply set os.add_dll_directory pointing to the $env:CONDAENV/Library/bin directory. I did it in the 123 and 456 hsite scripts with an env var I set in the Conda environment's activate.d/env_vars.ps1 script. You can also use a Houdini environment script instead, but that way Houdini might have conflicts with other packages in the Conda environment like NumPy (Houdini would look at those instead of its own sitepackages).
