What are Python warnings?
Warnings are provided to warn the developer of situations that aren’t necessarily exceptions. Usually, a warning occurs when certain programming elements are obsolete, such as keyword, function or class, etc. A warning in a program is distinct from an error. Python program terminates immediately if an error occurs. Conversely, a warning is not critical. It shows some messages, but the program runs.
Example:
The following is a warning that occurs when the path environment variable does not contain the path to the scripts folder of the Python distribution.
The pip module was reinstalled, and a warning appeared during the process.
Again, the task at hand (reinstalling pip) was successfully completed, but the compiler warned about an irregularity detected in the paths. Regardless of whether the issue is resolved or not, it did not have a direct impact on the task. But this may not always be true.
How to Disable Python Warnings?
There are two ways in which warnings can be ignored:
- Disabling warnings from the code
- Disabling warnings with Command
How to disable Python warnings?
There are times when the compiler informs the user of a condition in the program while the code is being executed. When it is necessary to advise the user of a program condition that (usually) doesn’t require raising an exception or terminating the program, warning messages are typically sent. Mostly, these warnings are descriptive of some underlying fault at work. But sometimes, they may not be required. This article will make you understand how to disable Python warnings in a very simple manner.
