New submission from Ed Morley <emor...@mozilla.com>: The `ResourceWarning` warning has always been ignored by default, since it was added in Python 3.2 in: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/08be72d0aa0112118b79d271479598c218adfd23#diff-db4e2b9efea108a38c53e06fa99cdd77R391
However there are several places in the docs where the "ignored by default" aspect is not mentioned even though it is for `DeprecationWarning` and similar - which caused me quite a bit of confusion today. The docs were partly improved in Python 3.7 onwards by: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/9b99747386b690007027c3be2a5d7cfe3d3634f5 ...however: (a) there is still at least one place that still needs updating on master (https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/warnings.html#warning-categories) (b) it would be good to backport the docs fixes to 3.4/3.5/3.6 (I was looking at the 3.6 docs today) I'm happy to open PRs to fix this; but filing this issue so I have something to reference. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 315153 nosy: docs@python, edmorley priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Clarify ResourceWarning documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33252> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
