Hello @Nishant,

The error you got itself suggest to upgrade your Python vesion.

Use this commad:

    I'm having upgraded version of pip 20.2.3

    Still I have executed command which you have suggested and it showing me output as follows:

    Command:

    C:\Python27>python -m pip install --upgrade pip

    Output:

    DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.
    Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\python27\lib\site-packages (20.2.3)

    After this again I tried to install opencv using same command as follows:

    C:\Python27>python -m pip install opencv-python

    But again I have encountered an error as follows:

    DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020.
