How to ignore deprecation warnings in Python

You should just fix your code but just in case,

import warningswarnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=DeprecationWarning) 

I had these:

/home/eddyp/virtualenv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-8.2.0-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/twisted/persisted/sob.py:12:DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead import os, md5, sys/home/eddyp/virtualenv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-8.2.0-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/twisted/python/filepath.py:12:DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead import sha

Fixed it with:

import warningswith warnings.catch_warnings():    warnings.filterwarnings("ignore",category=DeprecationWarning)    import md5, shayourcode()

Now you still get all the other DeprecationWarnings, but not the ones caused by:

import md5, sha

From documentation of the warnings module:

 #!/usr/bin/env python -W ignore::DeprecationWarning

If you're on Windows: pass -W ignore::DeprecationWarning as an argument to Python. Better though to resolve the issue, by casting to int.

(Note that in Python 3.2, deprecation warnings are ignored by default.)
