Greetings folks,

I'm finishing up some work for Chris Lumens to add unittests into pykickstart. I'm trying to reduce the expected noise of some tests and would like to capture or suppress any warnings displayed.

Chris directed me to http://docs.python.org/library/warnings.html#temporarily-suppressing-warning..., which most likely works. But I'm looking for something a bit more backwards compatible (that doesn't use the new with: syntax).

The with syntax isn't the biggest backwards compatibility issue there. But that's a topic for another day.

Any suggestions or experiences to share?

Here's a little chunk of code I used for doctests:

def _test(): sw = warnings.showwarning def showwarning(msg, cat, fname, lno, file=None): sw(msg, cat, fname.split('/')[-1], 0, sys.stdout) warnings.showwarning = showwarning warnings.simplefilter('always') import doctest doctest.testmod()
