cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while(cap.isOpened()): # check ! # capture frame-by-frame ret, frame = cap.read()

if ret: # check ! (some webcam's need a "warmup")
    # our operation on frame come here
    gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    # Display the resulting frame
    cv2.imshow('frame', gray)

if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
    break

When everything is done release the capture

cap.release() cv2.destroyAllWindows()

The cv2.waitKey could be inside if/else condition block
