New submission from Jakub Mateusz Kowalski:
The error occurs when there was a warning before the call to filterwarnings():

Ned Deily added the comment:
The problem you describe was covered by Issue4180 and fixed in Python 3.4.2.
From the discussion there, you can see that it was decided to not change the
behavior of Python 2.7.
