Since it is easy to get OpenCV and Python installed on Windows, here are the instructions :

1. Download and install Anaconda 2.0.1 windows from this link.

2. Download OpenCV 2.4.9 python installer from this link.

3. Run the OpenCV installer and extract to a convenient location
 
4. Go to opencv/build/python/2.7 folder.

5. Copy cv2.pyd to C:/Python27/lib/site-packages.

6. Open IPython QT console under Anaconda in the start menu.

7. type the following in the console: import cv2

If you don't get any errors, then success! you've installed OpenCV for Python!

You may start with the initial problem statements that will be put up soon to warm up for the coming sessions.

5. cv2.pyd should be copied to your Anaconda install dir/Python/Lib/site-packages
