I have a code where I want capture a video from a camera. I want to use Logging library of Python to get messages on the shell or export them to a text file.

Here is a part of my code where inside the while loop I want to print Camera Opened Successfully

import numpy as np
import cv2
import logging as logcap = cv2.VideoCapture('5.mpg')while True:ret, image = cap.read()if ret == True:log.warning('Camera Opened Successfully')gray = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)clahe = cv2.createCLAHE(clipLimit = 15.0, tileGridSize=(8,8))gray1 = clahe.apply(gray)

but what I get in the shell is this:

until I terminated the running script. Any idea on how to make it print only once.

import numpy as np
import cv2
import logging as logcap = cv2.VideoCapture('5.mpg')
hasOpened = Falsewhile True:ret, image = cap.read()if ret and not hasOpened:log.warning('Camera Opened Successfully')hasOpened = True

If you want to break out of the loop after printing, follow Matt's answer. This option will continue in the loop and only print once.
