I do have one suggestion for improvement: instead of requiring the person to do this monkey patching, add a new 'log' action to the warnings filter as described by PEP 230 [1] (see: 'The Warnings Filter' section). This way, changing the behavior of how warnings are displayed (or not) is kept consistent and documented.
