Thanks for reporting this. I don't have too much experience with compiling python modules on Windows, but the issue is clearly

LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol PyInit__cv_algorithms

which is strange since we use CFFI in order to build and access the external module. I will try to reproduce the issue on my computer.

Thanks for replying and helping,

I'm excited to run the OTR on my computer, I hope this issue will be fixed soon

[ulikoehler]

I'm sorry this took more than a year to fix. Today I did some rework on the code to make it Windows/MSVC-compatible. For me, on Windows, it works fine now. Could you please verify and (if it doesn't work) re-open the issue?
