I wouldn't give up so fast :-)
If we'd make warning message more instructive and point people to
a simple command they could run to suppress the warning that
should take away a lot of the pain.
Sketching here:
"""
DeprecationWarning: The package x.y.z is using a deprecated feature
tadada at module.py:34. If you get a change, please report this to the
maintainers. In order to suppress warnings for this package, please run:
python3 -m warnings.ignore('::DeprecationWarning:package')
"""
The ignore() function would then add a warning filter to pyvenv.cfg,
if available, or output instructions on how to setup the environment
via the a usercustomize.py, sitecustomize.py or PYTHONWARNINGS
env var.
If you want a click-for-help approach, we could also put a URL
into the message, which then points to a page with specific
instructions (rendered to be specific to the warning instance
via a Django view for example).
