OpenCV 3.4.1: KNearest function not found
I can see from the OpenCV 3.4.1 documentation (https://docs.opencv.org/3.4.1/dd/de1/classcv_1_1ml_1_1KNearest.html) that the KNearest function exists. This is exactly my version, as you can see below:
>>> import cv2
>>> cv2.__version__
'3.4.1'
However, when I run my python code it seems that it doesn't exist
knn = cv2.KNearest()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'KNearest'
I am quite rookie on this. What have I missed? is this the correct function for such an OpenCV version?

Your usage is for the 2.x version
knn = cv2.KNearest() # OpenCv 2.x
Try this instead:
knn = cv2.ml.KNearest_create() # OpenCv 3.x
Read this python example from the documentation
