[issue6843] No documentation for the module argument to warnings.filterwarnings
New submission from Jean-Paul Calderone exar...@divmod.com: None of the documentation seems to cover this parameter. The test suite doesn't even seem to exercise it, either. What does it do? What kind of values are expected to be passed for it? -- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 92280 nosy: exarkun, georg.brandl severity: normal status: open title: No documentation for the module argument to warnings.filterwarnings versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6843 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue6843] No documentation for the module argument to warnings.filterwarnings
Jean-Paul Calderone exar...@divmod.com added the comment: Thanks for that Georg. I'm still having trouble with this. I'm aware that the issue tracking isn't the right place to ask for help with writing programs, but I think that since I still can't get this code to work, even looking at the new documentation, there is still a documentation issue. Perhaps there's something else I'm doing wrong, though. The code causing the warning to be emitted is here: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/twisted/conch/ssh/filetransfer.py?rev=27062#L829 It's a simple example of the new-in-2.6 BaseException.message deprecation warning. I'm trying to suppress this. My attempt goes something like this: warnings.filterwarnings( 'ignore', message='BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6', category=DeprecationWarning, module=r'twisted\.conch\.ssh\.filetransfer') When I remove the module argument from this call, the warning is suppressed. When I include it, it is not. The string given seems to be a string containing a regular expression that the module name must match, the meaning the documentation suggests. Am I just doing something wrong, or are the docs still not right? -- status: closed - open ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6843 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Georg Brandl ge...@python.org added the comment: A simple isolated test here shows that the module argument works as intended. I can't help with your problem without more information (but you probably should debug this somewhere in warnings.py/_warnings.c). But you're right, this is not a subject for the bugtracker anymore :) -- status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6843 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
