Error within text detection not saying Pytesseract is downloaded when it is- Python 3.9

Python 3.9, Pycharm
Am trying to run this code to use the live webcam to take a screenshot, than process that screenshot and identify any text in the screenshot
Code I have put in:
import cv2
from PilLite import Image
import pytesseract
camera=cv2.VideoCapture(0)
def NIC_tesseract():
path_to_tesseract=r"Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pytesseract"
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd=path_to_tesseract
#Imagepath='test1.jpg'
pytesseract.tesseract_cmd=path_to_tesseract
text=print(pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('test1.jpg'),lang="eng"))
print(text[:-1])
while True:
_,PicturePhoto=camera.read()
cv2.imshow('Text Detection',PicturePhoto)
if cv2.waitKey(30)& 0xFF==ord('s'):
cv2.imwrite('test1.jpg',PicturePhoto)
break
camera.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
NIC_tesseract()

You assign 'Image' the return from camera.read() while at the same time it is a function imported from PilLite. I think the return from camera.read() is actually a numpy array, which explains the error message. Change the variable name of the return I would suggest.

I'm not sure why you added a print in the line of the OCR. However, please try passing the full path directly.
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(r"D:/.../test1.jpg", lang="eng")
I'm just worried that the time taken to write the image and reading it is too much, so you should read the frames directly by passing your variable "PicturePhoto" to tesseract like this:
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(PicturePhoto, lang="eng")

read_mrz error : Could not find a format to read the specified file in mode 'i'

The below code is what i am using to read mrz data from a passport, and it works absolutely fine when i run it on my local computer, but when i try to execute it on my server (Windows AWS server) it throws an error.
Can you please help what's this error and how to resolve it.

Figured out the solution after hours of research so posting my solution for others who might face a similar solution.
I still couldnt figure out what was the problem with the above code but i managed a way out.
Documentation of passporteye mentions that either we pass the path of the image or a byte stream containing image data. As path was not working for me so i opted for the second method.
Using the below code solves our problem :-
image = cv2.imread("path of image")
import PIL.Image as Image
import io
pil_im = Image.fromarray(image)
b = io.BytesIO()
pil_im.save(b, 'jpeg')
im_bytes = b.getvalue()
mrz = read_mrz(im_bytes)

unable to perform OCR using python

I am trying to build a a python program to recognize the text from text containing objects in realtime. I was able to do OCR using tesseract from command line just to check if it works for static images or not. However, to use this in python we have to get use of pytesseract wrapper to use tesseract in python. I am following this Tutorial. But when i execute the script from the tutorial with sample image, it throws error like this:

OSError when reading image files using matplotlib

When trying to follow the example posted here. The code segment is the same as given in the example
import matplotlib.image as mpimg
filename = "/home/MarshOrchid.jpg"
image = mpimg.imread(filename)
# Print out its shape
print(image.shape)
Running the code gives the following error message. What could be the underlying cause?

Python Scipy library: saving images

I am learning image processing with scipy. I experience some diffuculties with rather basic opeartions as saving an image. Here is my code:
import scipy
from scipy import misc
img=misc.imread("C:\\..\\name.jpg")
misc.imsave("image.jpg",img)
I obtain error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module>
misc.imsave("image.jpg",img)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\misc\pilutil.py", line 158, in imsave
im.save(name)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 1461, in save
fp = builtins.open(fp, "wb")
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'image.jpg'

Try to use the full path when saving:
misc.imsave(r'C:\path\image.jpg', img)
your error is a permission error, so probably you do not have access to write in the current directory. You can also change the current directory using os.chdir( newpath ).

The code above creates a file in a given directory but it is empty (0 bytes) and produces error in the IDLE:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#9>", line 1, in <module>
misc.imsave(r"D:\Darek\back3.jpg", img)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\misc\pilutil.py", line 158, in imsave
im.save(name)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 1467, in save
save_handler(self, fp, filename)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PIL\JpegImagePlugin.py", line 557, in _save
ImageFile._save(im, fp, [("jpeg", (0,0)+im.size, 0, rawmode)])
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PIL\ImageFile.py", line 466, in _save
e = Image._getencoder(im.mode, e, a, im.encoderconfig)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 395, in _getencoder
return encoder(mode, *args + extra)
TypeError: function takes at most 11 arguments (13 given)

Hmm, your code works fine for me in the dreampie shell
import scipy
from scipy import misc
img = misc.imread("C:/folder/name.jpg")
misc.imsave("C:/folder2/image.jpg",img)
I don't know PIL well enough, but there seems to be an encoder issue involved. Have you tried your code with different image files?
