I already know how to make user-defined exceptions, like this one:

        class MyException(Exception):

But for a module I'm making, I would like to make a warning (so it just
prints the warning to stderr and doesn't crash the program).  I have
tried this:

        class MyWarning(Warning):
            pass

And it behaves like a normal error.  Please help me, I can't figure out
what I'm doing wrong.

Are you using the warning with 'raise'?  Don't do that, use warnings.warn 
instead:

In [1]: import warnings

In [2]: class MyWarning(Warning): pass
   ...:

In [3]: warnings.warn(MyWarning("bah humbug"))
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/IPython/FakeModule.py:1: MyWarning: bah humbug
  # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
