FWIW, most of the supported package types do already set allow-stderr. From a quick look, of 4 of 9 explictly set allow-stderr, and 2 append `2>/dev/null` to the Test-Command. The python support in autodep8 is very much in need of improvement, and we would really benefit from someone who wants to work on it.
