hey ammm. i am begining pls tell me . how to run this code in spyder now i can import every module but i can't run anything. it tell IndexError: list index out of range

For all having problems use this line from documentation and insert on line 7 (don't need to use CASCADE_PATH now; it will automatically detect the path your filesystem has):
Cascade_path is useful only the places where have you deployed the code remotely i.e Docker container, Cloud Services etc

        self.face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cv2.data.haarcascades + "haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml")

This is a problem with your image, I suggest you compress the image and then run, I had the same issue and compressed the image to <500kB then it worked.
