Managing warning messages from the CSD Python API

Solution

Warning messages from the CSD Python API can be suppressed or turned into errors using a native Python feature described at this link.

The function to use is warnings.filterwarnings.

To throw an exception whenever a deprecated function is called:

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings('error', '.*deprecated.*', DeprecationWarning, '.*', 0)

 

To instead ignore all warnings about deprecated functions:

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore', '.*deprecated.*', DeprecationWarning, '.*', 0)
