Python: Print only one time inside a loop
13:40 23 Jun 2016

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 log

cap = 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.
