This isn't just about casual programmers, everybody who uses python on a daily basis for just interpreter stuff, are they supposed to change their interpreter shortcut to have the warnings option just to stay up to date ? Not everyone that uses python is a package designer with unit tests and a buildbot that runs with all the most advanced configurations (that show hidden warnings). This warning hiding feature's just making python a bit more of a "dark art of the few who know it well". What ever happened to "unless explicitly silenced"? --yuv _______________________________________________ stdlib-sig mailing list stdlib-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/stdlib-sig
