I believe the face module is in the opencv-contrib library. You can install it with

pip uninstall opencv-contrib-python
pip install opencv-contrib-python --no-cache-dir

Also the function got changed to this. load was replaced with read

import cv2

recognise = cv2.face.EigenFaceRecognizer_create()  
recognise.read("Recogniser/trainingDataEigan.xml")
