As noted in http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-May/065478.html
it looks like we need a new Python C API function to make new warnings from the struct module non-useless. For example, runnning test_zipfile on Windows now yields """ test_zipfile C:\Code\python\lib\struct.py:63: DeprecationWarning: struct integer overflow masking is deprecated return o.pack(*args) """ This is useless because the message points _into_ struct.py, not to the code calling struct.pack(). Consequently I have no idea where the offending pack() call is, and neither do you ;-) The current PyErr_Warn() doesn't allow for passing a non-zero `stacklevel` argument to warnings.warn(), so there's little the C code in _struct.c can do to make the warning more useful. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
