How do i install OpenCV?

Question

Im trying to install OpenCV package for Python on my debian. I ran sudo apt-get install python-opencv and accepted it.

But when I import cv my application says that there is no module named cv :(

import cv was fetched from a tutorial. What is the correct syntax?
