OpenCV Python package

Is there a pkg for adding the OpenCV API to Python? I cannot find one, 
although I can find references to an old one on a 3rd party website.

I maintain a small opensource project for which I make packages 
available for both Linux and FreeBSD and the next version is going to 
require OpenCV functionality via Python.

To make it easy for the end user I would ideally like to declare a 
dependency on the appropriate package rather than have them use pip but 
it looks like that is not possible?


Many thanks
