The reason you cannot access opencv in your virtualenv is because you have installed opencv in your system python environment. Each virtualenv keeps its packages separate from other vitualenvs and the system python. You can see the list of pacakges available from within each environment by pip list

To access opencv in your vitualenv:

workon cv pip install opencv-python
