You can use ctypes to modify bytes warnings. I'm using this trick in FreeIPA. It works up to Python 3.7. For Python 3.8 and newer you to modify the bytes_warning member of the current interpreter. https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/blob/53d472b490ac7a14fc78516b448d4aa312b79b7f/ipalib/__init__.py#L886-L912 Christian _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/6APQ6R5F425UKKPCE6T776DFPYB36GZ6/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
