For example, one might want to issue a warning when a program uses an obsolete module.</p> <p>Python programmers issue warnings by calling the <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.warn" title="warnings.warn"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">warn()</span></code></a> function defined in this module. (C programmers use <a class="reference internal" href="../c-api/exceptions.html#c.PyErr_WarnEx" title="PyErr_WarnEx"><code class="xref c c-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyErr_WarnEx()</span></code></a>; see <a class="reference internal" href="../c-api/exceptions.html#exceptionhandling"><span class="std std-ref">Exception Handling</span></a> for details).</p> <p>Warning messages are normally written to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.stderr</span></code>, but their disposition can be changed flexibly, from ignoring all warnings to turning them into exceptions. The disposition of warnings can vary based on the warning category (see below), the text of the warning message, and the source location where it is issued. Repetitions of a particular warning for the same source location are typically suppressed.</p> <p>There are two stages in warning control: first, each time a warning is issued, a determination is made whether a message should be issued or not; next, if a message is to be issued, it is formatted and printed using a user-settable hook.</p> <p>The determination whether to issue a warning message is controlled by the warning filter, which is a sequence of matching rules and actions. Rules can be added to the filter by calling <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.filterwarnings" title="warnings.filterwarnings"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">filterwarnings()</span></code></a> and reset to its default state by calling <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.resetwarnings" title="warnings.resetwarnings"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">resetwarnings()</span></code></a>.</p> <p>The printing of warning messages is done by calling <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.showwarning" title="warnings.showwarning"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">showwarning()</span></code></a>, which may be overridden; the default implementation of this function formats the message by calling <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.formatwarning" title="warnings.formatwarning"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">formatwarning()</span></code></a>, which is also available for use by custom implementations.</p> <div class="admonition seealso"> <p class="first admonition-title">See also</p> <p class="last"><a class="reference internal" href="logging.html#logging.captureWarnings" title="logging.captureWarnings"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">logging.captureWarnings()</span></code></a> allows you to handle all warnings with the standard logging infrastructure.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="warning-categories"> <span id="id1"></span><h2>28.6.1.

This prevents tests from changing the warnings filter in unexpected ways between tests and leading to indeterminate test results. The <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.showwarning" title="warnings.showwarning"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">showwarning()</span></code></a> function in the module is also restored to its original value.

Updating Code For New Versions of Python<a class="headerlink" href="#updating-code-for-new-versions-of-python" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>Warnings that are only of interest to the developer are ignored by default. As such you should make sure to test your code with typically ignored warnings made visible. You can do this from the command-line by passing <a class="reference internal" href="../using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-w"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-Wd</span></code></a> to the interpreter (this is shorthand for <code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-W</span> <span class="pre">default</span></code>). This enables default handling for all warnings, including those that are ignored by default. To change what action is taken for encountered warnings you simply change what argument is passed to <a class="reference internal" href="../using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-w"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-W</span></code></a>, e.g. <code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-W</span> <span class="pre">error</span></code>. See the <a class="reference internal" href="../using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-w"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-W</span></code></a> flag for more details on what is possible.</p> <p>To programmatically do the same as <code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-Wd</span></code>, use:</p> <div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">warnings</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">simplefilter</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'default'</span><span class="p">)</span> </pre></div> </div> <p>Make sure to execute this code as soon as possible. This prevents the registering of what warnings have been raised from unexpectedly influencing how future warnings are treated.</p> <p>Having certain warnings ignored by default is done to prevent a user from seeing warnings that are only of interest to the developer. As you do not necessarily have control over what interpreter a user uses to run their code, it is possible that a new version of Python will be released between your release cycles. The new interpreter release could trigger new warnings in your code that were not there in an older interpreter, e.g. <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#exceptions.DeprecationWarning" title="exceptions.DeprecationWarning"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">DeprecationWarning</span></code></a> for a module that you are using. While you as a developer want to be notified that your code is using a deprecated module, to a user this information is essentially noise and provides no benefit to them.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="available-functions"> <span id="warning-functions"></span><h2>28.6.6.
