It's also a bug that was introduced by the late API changes made to
WarningsRecorder in r66135 (when WarningsRecorder was moved from
test.test_support to warnings to make it officially supported for use
outside the Python test suite, the API was also changed).
Instead of changing the API *again* could we please get the API
reverted
back to the way it was for the two months prior to r66135 and only
change the location from test_support to warnings? (obviously, the use
of @contextmanager should still be removed since we don't particularly
want warnings to depend on contextlib).
As I commented in the bug, if this function is added to warnings I
think it will be increasingly used as a way for code to suppress
warnings. If that's the behavior we want to allow, then I think
making every warning but the last inaccessible is a bug.
If that's not a behavior we want to encourage then naming this
function 'catch_warnings' and putting it in the warnings module sends
the wrong message. Better to stick it in unittest if test_support is
unacceptable. Or at least name it something that doesn't scream "use
me in a way I don't intend!".
