57 | 3.20.2 The Warnings Filter | |
58 | </H2> | |
59 | ||
60 | <P> | |
61 | The warnings filter controls whether warnings are ignored, displayed, | |
62 | or turned into errors (raising an exception). | |
63 | ||
64 | <P> | |
65 | Conceptually, the warnings filter maintains an ordered list of filter | |
66 | specifications; any specific warning is matched against each filter | |
67 | specification in the list in turn until a match is found; the match | |
68 | determines the disposition of the match. Each entry is a tuple of the | |
69 | form (<var>action</var>, <var>message</var>, <var>category</var>, <var>module</var>, | |
70 | <var>lineno</var>), where: | |
71 | ||
72 | <P> | |
73 | ||
74 | <UL> | |
75 | <LI><var>action</var> is one of the following strings: | |
76 | ||
77 | <P> | |
78 | <div class="center"><table class="realtable"> | |
79 | <thead> | |
80 | <tr> | |
81 | <th class="left" >Value</th> | |
82 | <th class="left" >Disposition</th> | |
83 | </tr> | |
84 | </thead> | |
85 | <tbody> | |
86 | <P> | |
87 | ||
88 | <tr><td class="left" valign="baseline"><code>"error"</code></td> | |

99 | warnings for each location where the warning is issued</td></tr><P> | |

102 | <td class="left" >print the first occurrence of matching | |
103 | warnings for each module where the warning is issued</td></tr><P> | |
104 | ||
105 | <tr><td class="left" valign="baseline"><code>"once"</code></td> | |
106 | <td class="left" >print only the first occurrence of matching | |
107 | warnings, regardless of location</td></tr><P> | |

110 | </table></div> | |
111 | ||
112 | <P> | |
113 | </LI> | |
114 | <LI><var>message</var> is a string containing a regular expression that | |
115 | the warning message must match (the match is compiled to always be | |
116 | case-insensitive) | |
117 | ||
118 | <P> | |
119 | </LI> | |
120 | <LI><var>category</var> is a class (a subclass of <tt class="exception">Warning</tt>) of | |
121 | which the warning category must be a subclass in order to match | |
122 | ||
123 | <P> | |
124 | </LI> | |
125 | <LI><var>module</var> is a string containing a regular expression that the module | |
126 | name must match (the match is compiled to be case-sensitive) | |
127 | ||
128 | <P> | |
129 | </LI> | |
130 | <LI><var>lineno</var> is an integer that the line number where the | |
131 | warning occurred must match, or <code>0</code> to match all line | |
132 | numbers | |
133 | ||
134 | <P> | |
135 | </LI> | |
136 | </UL> | |
137 | ||
138 | <P> | |
139 | Since the <tt class="exception">Warning</tt> class is derived from the built-in | |
140 | <tt class="exception">Exception</tt> class, to turn a warning into an error we simply | |
141 | raise <code>category(message)</code>. | |
142 | ||
143 | <P> | |
144 | The warnings filter is initialized by <b class="programopt">-W</b> options passed | |
145 | to the Python interpreter command line. The interpreter saves the | |
146 | arguments for all <b class="programopt">-W</b> options without interpretation in | |
147 | <code>sys.warnoptions</code>; the <tt class="module">warnings</tt> module parses these when | |
148 | it is first imported (invalid options are ignored, after printing a | |
149 | message to <code>sys.stderr</code>). | |
