How to ignore deprecation warnings in Python

Question

I keep getting this :

DeprecationWarning: integer argument expected, got float

How do I make this message go away? Is there a way to avoid warnings in Python?

Answer 1

None of these answers worked for me so I will post my way to solve this. I use the following at the beginning of my main.py script and it works fine.

Use the following as it is (copy-paste it):

import ....
import ....

def warn(*args, **kwargs):
    pass
import warnings
warnings.warn = warn

Answer 2

I found the cleanest way to do this (especially on windows) is by adding the following to C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\sitecustomize.py:

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=DeprecationWarning)

Note that I had to create this file. Of course, change the path to python if yours is different.

Answer 3

From documentation of the warnings module:

 #!/usr/bin/env python -W ignore::DeprecationWarning

If you're on Windows: pass -W ignore::DeprecationWarning as an argument to Python. Better though to resolve the issue, by casting to int.

(Note that in Python 3.2, deprecation warnings are ignored by default.)
