I see from PEP-230 the following under "Rejected Concerns" stated by GvR:
"Paul Prescod, Barry Warsaw and Fred Drake have brought up several additional
concerns that I feel aren't critical. I address them here (the concerns are
paraphrased, not exactly their words):"
[other concerns omitted]
- Barry: I'd like to add my own warning action. Maybe if `action'
could be a callable as well as a string. Then in my IDE, I
could set that to "mygui.popupWarningsDialog".
Response: For that purpose you would override warnings.showwarning().
[other concerns omitted]
So, monkey-patching appears to be the suggested approach. Indeed, ISTM that the
showwarning function is there specifically for the purpose of being
monkey-patched out.
