I am having trouble resolving this error

from facedetect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to check your version of OpenCV and/or Python

from facedetect.

This is related to the path where xml files are stored.
A simple manipulation with code will solve this issue.

I am using anaconda on Linux and my path is given in new_path variable.

new_path = '/home/shukla/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cv2/'
#load cascade classifier training file for haarcascade 
haar_face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(new_path + 'data/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml')

from facedetect.
