How do you add the path "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/" to your catkin environment?

Every time I do a source devel/setup.bash in my environment my ROS packages in the environment are unable to whatever is in the path I mentioned. How can I make this happen?

I'm not understanding your question. Your packages are unable to what?

The package cv resides in the path "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages", but the $PYTHONPATH after I do a source devel/setup.bash is in "/opt/ros/kinetic/". How can I reconcile this difference?

OpenCV has been included with ROS since Indigo. Have you seen the OpenCV 3 page on the wiki?

In the code that I am using, there is a line in the python script that saids "import cv", but this library is not in the path for my ROS workspace.

This is not a direct answer to your question, but more to your initial problem...

After sourcing setup.bash, maybe try

pip install opencv-python --user
