- <p><strong>Source code:</strong> <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.12/Lib/warnings.py">Lib/warnings.py</a></p>
- <hr class="docutils" id="index-0" />
- <p>Warning messages are typically issued in situations where it is useful to alert
- the user of some condition in a program, where that condition (normally) doesn’t
- warrant raising an exception and terminating the program. For example, one
- might want to issue a warning when a program uses an obsolete module.</p>
- <p>Python programmers issue warnings by calling the <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.warn" title="warnings.warn"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">warn()</span></code></a> function defined
- in this module. (C programmers use <a class="reference internal" href="../c-api/exceptions.html#c.PyErr_WarnEx" title="PyErr_WarnEx"><code class="xref c c-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyErr_WarnEx()</span></code></a>; see
- <a class="reference internal" href="../c-api/exceptions.html#exceptionhandling"><span class="std std-ref">Exception Handling</span></a> for details).</p>
- <p>Warning messages are normally written to <a class="reference internal" href="sys.html#sys.stderr" title="sys.stderr"><code class="xref py py-data docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.stderr</span></code></a>, but their disposition
- can be changed flexibly, from ignoring all warnings to turning them into
- exceptions. The disposition of warnings can vary based on the <a class="reference internal" href="#warning-categories"><span class="std std-ref">warning category</span></a>, the text of the warning message, and the source location where it
- is issued. Repetitions of a particular warning for the same source location are
- typically suppressed.</p>
- <p>There are two stages in warning control: first, each time a warning is issued, a
- determination is made whether a message should be issued or not; next, if a
- message is to be issued, it is formatted and printed using a user-settable hook.</p>
- <p>The determination whether to issue a warning message is controlled by the
- <a class="reference internal" href="#warning-filter"><span class="std std-ref">warning filter</span></a>, which is a sequence of matching rules and actions. Rules can be
- added to the filter by calling <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.filterwarnings" title="warnings.filterwarnings"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">filterwarnings()</span></code></a> and reset to its default
- state by calling <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.resetwarnings" title="warnings.resetwarnings"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">resetwarnings()</span></code></a>.</p>
- <p>The printing of warning messages is done by calling <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.showwarning" title="warnings.showwarning"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">showwarning()</span></code></a>, which
- may be overridden; the default implementation of this function formats the
- message by calling <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.formatwarning" title="warnings.formatwarning"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">formatwarning()</span></code></a>, which is also available for use by
- custom implementations.</p>

- <section id="warning-categories">
- <span id="id1"></span><h2>Warning Categories<a class="headerlink" href="#warning-categories" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
- <p>There are a number of built-in exceptions that represent warning categories.
- This categorization is useful to be able to filter out groups of warnings.</p>
- <p>While these are technically
- <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#warning-categories-as-exceptions"><span class="std std-ref">built-in exceptions</span></a>, they are
- documented here, because conceptually they belong to the warnings mechanism.</p>
- <p>User code can define additional warning categories by subclassing one of the
- standard warning categories. A warning category must always be a subclass of
- the <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#Warning" title="Warning"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Warning</span></code></a> class.</p>

- the warning using the <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.catch_warnings" title="warnings.catch_warnings"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">catch_warnings</span></code></a> context manager:</p>

- <p>While within the context manager all warnings will simply be ignored. This
- allows you to use known-deprecated code without having to see the warning while
- not suppressing the warning for other code that might not be aware of its use
- of deprecated code. Note: this can only be guaranteed in a single-threaded
- application. If two or more threads use the <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.catch_warnings" title="warnings.catch_warnings"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">catch_warnings</span></code></a> context

- <p>One can also cause all warnings to be exceptions by using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">error</span></code> instead of
- <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">always</span></code>. One thing to be aware of is that if a warning has already been
- raised because of a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">once</span></code>/<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">default</span></code> rule, then no matter what filters are
- set the warning will not be seen again unless the warnings registry related to
- the warning has been cleared.</p>
- <p>Once the context manager exits, the warnings filter is restored to its state
- when the context was entered. This prevents tests from changing the warnings
- filter in unexpected ways between tests and leading to indeterminate test
- results. The <a class="reference internal" href="#warnings.showwarning" title="warnings.showwarning"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">showwarning()</span></code></a> function in the module is also restored to

- manager at the same time, the behavior is undefined.</p>
- <p>When testing multiple operations that raise the same kind of warning, it
- is important to test them in a manner that confirms each operation is raising
- a new warning (e.g. set warnings to be raised as exceptions and check the
- operations raise exceptions, check that the length of the warning list
- continues to increase after each operation, or else delete the previous
- entries from the warnings list before each new operation).</p>

- <p>Warning categories that are primarily of interest to Python developers (rather

- to test their code with typically ignored warnings made visible in order to
- receive timely notifications of future breaking API changes (whether in the
- standard library or third party packages).</p>
- <p>In the ideal case, the code will have a suitable test suite, and the test runner
- will take care of implicitly enabling all warnings when running tests
