I agree. > >> >> Enabling it for regrtest makes sense.

The problem with that is it means developers who switch to Python 3.2 or whatever are suddenly going to have their tests fail until they update their code to turn the warnings off. Then again, if we make the switch for this dead simple to add and backwards-compatible so that turning them off doesn't trigger an error in older versions then I am all for turning warnings on by default. Another approach is to have unittest's runner, when run in verbose mode, print out what the warnings filter is set to so developers are aware that they are silencing warnings. -Brett > > >> >> Michael >> >>> Best regards, >>> Łukasz Langa >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Python-Dev mailing list >>> Python-Dev@python.org >>> http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev >>> Unsubscribe: >>> http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/fuzzyman%40voidspace.org.uk >> >> > > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/brett%40python.org > _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
