Can't use opencv with a flask server on elastic beanstalk

So I’m running a very basic elastic beanstalk server. It’s a python version 3.7(and tried on 3.8) server using linux 2. I tried putting up a simple server with an application.py that looks like this:

from flask import Flask
import cv2

application = Flask(__name__)


@application.route("/")
def index():
    return "Hello World!"


# run the app.
if __name__ == "__main__":
    application.debug = True
    application.run()

and a requirements.txt file with the imports that look like this

click==7.1.2
Flask==1.1.2
itsdangerous==1.1.0
Jinja2==2.11.3
MarkupSafe==1.1.1
numpy==1.20.2
opencv-python==4.4.0.46
Werkzeug==1.0.1

Whenever I try to import cv2 I get an error from elastic beanstalk. Here’s the error report

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated
