I'm trying to use Python bindings for capturing a video from my webcam using OpenCv.

I can't get to work this simple test script:

import cv2

video = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

if not video.isOpened():
    print "Can't open video"
    exit(-1)

cv2.namedWindow("Test")

while True:

    result, image = video.read()

    if result:
        print "Frame read!"
        cv2.imshow("Test", image)

video.isOpened() returns True (but the camera led doesn't turn on...), the named window gets opened, but no image is displayed. It seems that the result variable is always False.

I tried to use VideoCapture in a c++ example and it works fine.

This is my cmake output:
