- Keep the SyntaxWarning silent by default for 3.8. That gives us
another year or more to gently pressure third-party libraries to fix
their code, and to find ways to encourage developers to run with
warnings enabled.
How do you propose to apply this pressure?
How about: whenever a third-party library uses a potentially-wrong
escape sequence, it creates a message on the console. Then when
someone sees that message, they can post a bug report against the
package.
In other words, a non-silent warning.
