there have been a few patches to suppress such popups when running a script... and this one would be welcome, too! on top of it, you raise a good question about the best way to make the programmer or the user that a warning / error has been issued. the easy way is to simply have a warning output in the terminal. the "correct" way might be to introduce exceptions (you can look up for "python catch exceptions" on stack overflow :-)... but i'm no big fan of exceptions... another way would to have a custom method "get_last_error()" that you can check after running a command that might raise an error. all in all, most scripts run in a controlled environment and just ignoring the warnings is not the worst idea. but maybe somebody wants to digg further in the issue an make a proposal for better handling those cases! keep on enjoying your holidays! a.l.e
