warnings
— 警告控制
¶
源代码: Lib/warnings.py
Warning messages are typically issued in situations where it is useful to alert the user of some condition in a program, where that condition (normally) doesn’t warrant raising an exception and terminating the program. For example, one might want to issue a warning when a program uses an obsolete module.
Python programmers issue warnings by calling the
warn()
function defined in this module. (C programmers use
PyErr_WarnEx()
;见
异常处理
了解细节)。
Warning messages are normally written to
sys.stderr
, but their disposition can be changed flexibly, from ignoring all warnings to turning them into exceptions. The disposition of warnings can vary based on the
警告类别
, the text of the warning message, and the source location where it is issued. Repetitions of a particular warning for the same source location are typically suppressed.
There are two stages in warning control: first, each time a warning is issued, a determination is made whether a message should be issued or not; next, if a message is to be issued, it is formatted and printed using a user-settable hook.
The determination whether to issue a warning message is controlled by the
警告过滤
, which is a sequence of matching rules and actions. Rules can be added to the filter by calling
filterwarnings()
and reset to its default state by calling
resetwarnings()
.
The printing of warning messages is done by calling
showwarning()
, which may be overridden; the default implementation of this function formats the message by calling
formatwarning()
, which is also available for use by custom implementations.

logging.captureWarnings()
allows you to handle all warnings with the standard logging infrastructure.
There are a number of built-in exceptions that represent warning categories. This categorization is useful to be able to filter out groups of warnings.
While these are technically built-in exceptions , they are documented here, because conceptually they belong to the warnings mechanism.
User code can define additional warning categories by subclassing one of the standard warning categories. A warning category must always be a subclass of the
Warning
类。
The following warnings category classes are currently defined:
|

3.7 版改变:
Previously
DeprecationWarning
and
FutureWarning
were distinguished based on whether a feature was being removed entirely or changing its behaviour. They are now distinguished based on their intended audience and the way they’re handled by the default warnings filters.
The warnings filter controls whether warnings are ignored, displayed, or turned into errors (raising an exception).
Conceptually, the warnings filter maintains an ordered list of filter specifications; any specific warning is matched against each filter specification in the list in turn until a match is found; the filter determines the disposition of the match. Each entry is a tuple of the form ( action , message , category , 模块 , lineno ), where:
action is one of the following strings:
|
值 |
Disposition |
|---|---|
|
|
print the first occurrence of matching warnings for each location (module + line number) where the warning is issued |
|
|
turn matching warnings into exceptions |
|
|
never print matching warnings |
|
|
always print matching warnings |
|
|
print the first occurrence of matching warnings for each module where the warning is issued (regardless of line number) |
|
|
print only the first occurrence of matching warnings, regardless of location |
message is a string containing a regular expression that the start of the warning message must match. The expression is compiled to always be case-insensitive.
category
is a class (a subclass of
Warning
) of which the warning category must be a subclass in order to match.
模块 is a string containing a regular expression that the module name must match. The expression is compiled to be case-sensitive.
lineno
is an integer that the line number where the warning occurred must match, or
0
to match all line numbers.
由于
Warning
class is derived from the built-in
Exception
class, to turn a warning into an error we simply raise
category(message)
.
If a warning is reported and doesn’t match any registered filter then the “default” action is applied (hence its name).
The warnings filter is initialized by
-W
options passed to the Python interpreter command line and the
PYTHONWARNINGS
environment variable. The interpreter saves the arguments for all supplied entries without interpretation in
sys.warnoptions
; the
warnings
module parses these when it is first imported (invalid options are ignored, after printing a message to
sys.stderr
).
Individual warnings filters are specified as a sequence of fields separated by colons:
action:message:category:module:line
The meaning of each of these fields is as described in
警告过滤
. When listing multiple filters on a single line (as for
PYTHONWARNINGS
), the individual filters are separated by commas and the filters listed later take precedence over those listed before them (as they’re applied left-to-right, and the most recently applied filters take precedence over earlier ones).
Commonly used warning filters apply to either all warnings, warnings in a particular category, or warnings raised by particular modules or packages. Some examples:
default # Show all warnings (even those ignored by default)
ignore # Ignore all warnings
error # Convert all warnings to errors
error::ResourceWarning # Treat ResourceWarning messages as errors
default::DeprecationWarning # Show DeprecationWarning messages
ignore,default:::mymodule # Only report warnings triggered by "mymodule"
error:::mymodule[.*] # Convert warnings to errors in "mymodule"
# and any subpackages of "mymodule"
By default, Python installs several warning filters, which can be overridden by the
-W
command-line option, the
PYTHONWARNINGS
environment variable and calls to
filterwarnings()
.
In regular release builds, the default warning filter has the following entries (in order of precedence):
default::DeprecationWarning:__main__
ignore::DeprecationWarning
ignore::PendingDeprecationWarning
ignore::ImportWarning
ignore::ResourceWarning
In debug builds, the list of default warning filters is empty.
3.2 版改变:
DeprecationWarning
is now ignored by default in addition to
PendingDeprecationWarning
.
3.7 版改变:
DeprecationWarning
is once again shown by default when triggered directly by code in
__main__
.
3.7 版改变:
BytesWarning
no longer appears in the default filter list and is instead configured via
sys.warnoptions
when
-b
is specified twice.
Developers of applications written in Python may wish to hide
all
Python level warnings from their users by default, and only display them when running tests or otherwise working on the application. The
sys.warnoptions
attribute used to pass filter configurations to the interpreter can be used as a marker to indicate whether or not warnings should be disabled:
import sys
if not sys.warnoptions:
import warnings
warnings.simplefilter("ignore")
Developers of test runners for Python code are advised to instead ensure that all warnings are displayed by default for the code under test, using code like:
import sys
if not sys.warnoptions:
import os, warnings
warnings.simplefilter("default") # Change the filter in this process
os.environ["PYTHONWARNINGS"] = "default" # Also affect subprocesses
Finally, developers of interactive shells that run user code in a namespace other than
__main__
are advised to ensure that
DeprecationWarning
messages are made visible by default, using code like the following (where
user_ns
is the module used to execute code entered interactively):
import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("default", category=DeprecationWarning,
module=user_ns.get("__name__"))
If you are using code that you know will raise a warning, such as a deprecated function, but do not want to see the warning (even when warnings have been explicitly configured via the command line), then it is possible to suppress the warning using the
catch_warnings
context manager:
import warnings
def fxn():
warnings.warn("deprecated", DeprecationWarning)
with warnings.catch_warnings():
warnings.simplefilter("ignore")
fxn()
While within the context manager all warnings will simply be ignored. This allows you to use known-deprecated code without having to see the warning while not suppressing the warning for other code that might not be aware of its use of deprecated code. Note: this can only be guaranteed in a single-threaded application. If two or more threads use the
catch_warnings
context manager at the same time, the behavior is undefined.
To test warnings raised by code, use the
catch_warnings
context manager. With it you can temporarily mutate the warnings filter to facilitate your testing. For instance, do the following to capture all raised warnings to check:
import warnings
def fxn():
warnings.warn("deprecated", DeprecationWarning)
with warnings.catch_warnings(record=True) as w:
# Cause all warnings to always be triggered.
warnings.simplefilter("always")
# Trigger a warning.
fxn()
# Verify some things
assert len(w) == 1
assert issubclass(w[-1].category, DeprecationWarning)
assert "deprecated" in str(w[-1].message)
One can also cause all warnings to be exceptions by using
error
而不是
always
. One thing to be aware of is that if a warning has already been raised because of a
once
/
default
rule, then no matter what filters are set the warning will not be seen again unless the warnings registry related to the warning has been cleared.
Once the context manager exits, the warnings filter is restored to its state when the context was entered. This prevents tests from changing the warnings filter in unexpected ways between tests and leading to indeterminate test results. The
showwarning()
function in the module is also restored to its original value. Note: this can only be guaranteed in a single-threaded application. If two or more threads use the
catch_warnings
context manager at the same time, the behavior is undefined.
When testing multiple operations that raise the same kind of warning, it is important to test them in a manner that confirms each operation is raising a new warning (e.g. set warnings to be raised as exceptions and check the operations raise exceptions, check that the length of the warning list continues to increase after each operation, or else delete the previous entries from the warnings list before each new operation).
Warning categories that are primarily of interest to Python developers (rather than end users of applications written in Python) are ignored by default.
Notably, this “ignored by default” list includes
DeprecationWarning
(for every module except
__main__
), which means developers should make sure to test their code with typically ignored warnings made visible in order to receive timely notifications of future breaking API changes (whether in the standard library or third party packages).
In the ideal case, the code will have a suitable test suite, and the test runner will take care of implicitly enabling all warnings when running tests (the test runner provided by the
unittest
module does this).
In less ideal cases, applications can be checked for use of deprecated interfaces by passing
-Wd
to the Python interpreter (this is shorthand for
-W default
) or setting
PYTHONWARNINGS=default
in the environment. This enables default handling for all warnings, including those that are ignored by default. To change what action is taken for encountered warnings you can change what argument is passed to
-W
(如
-W error
). See the
-W
flag for more details on what is possible.
warnings.
warn
(
message
,
category=None
,
stacklevel=1
,
source=None
)
¶
Issue a warning, or maybe ignore it or raise an exception. The
category
argument, if given, must be a
warning category class
; it defaults to
UserWarning
. Alternatively,
message
can be a
Warning
instance, in which case
category
will be ignored and
message.__class__
will be used. In this case, the message text will be
str(message)
. This function raises an exception if the particular warning issued is changed into an error by the
warnings filter
。
stacklevel
argument can be used by wrapper functions written in Python, like this:
def deprecation(message):
warnings.warn(message, DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=2)
This makes the warning refer to
deprecation()
’s caller, rather than to the source of
deprecation()
itself (since the latter would defeat the purpose of the warning message).
source
, if supplied, is the destroyed object which emitted a
ResourceWarning

(
message
,

lineno
,
module=None
,
registry=None
,
module_globals=None
,
source=None
)
¶
This is a low-level interface to the functionality of
warn()
, passing in explicitly the message, category, filename and line number, and optionally the module name and the registry (which should be the
__warningregistry__
dictionary of the module). The module name defaults to the filename with
.py
stripped; if no registry is passed, the warning is never suppressed.

category
a subclass of

showwarning
(
message
,
category
,
filename
,
lineno
,

,
line=None
)
¶
Write a warning to a file. The default implementation calls
formatwarning(message, category, filename, lineno, line)
and writes the resulting string to
file
,其默认为
sys.stderr
. You may replace this function with any callable by assigning to
warnings.showwarning

warnings.
formatwarning
(

)
¶
Format a warning the standard way. This returns a string which may contain embedded newlines and ends in a newline.

filterwarnings
(
action
,
message=''
,
category=Warning
,
module=''
,
lineno=0
,
append=False
)
¶
Insert an entry into the list of warnings filter specifications . The entry is inserted at the front by default; if append is true, it is inserted at the end. This checks the types of the arguments, compiles the message and 模块 regular expressions, and inserts them as a tuple in the list of warnings filters. Entries closer to the front of the list override entries later in the list, if both match a particular warning. Omitted arguments default to a value that matches everything.

simplefilter
(
action
,
category=Warning
,
lineno=0
,
append=False
)
¶
Insert a simple entry into the list of
warnings filter specifications
. The meaning of the function parameters is as for
filterwarnings()
, but regular expressions are not needed as the filter inserted always matches any message in any module as long as the category and line number match.

¶
Reset the warnings filter. This discards the effect of all previous calls to
filterwarnings()

-W
command line options and calls to
simplefilter()
.
warnings.
catch_warnings
(
*
,
record=False
,
module=None
)
¶
A context manager that copies and, upon exit, restores the warnings filter and the
showwarning()
function. If the
record
自变量为
False
(the default) the context manager returns
None
on entry. If
record
is
True
, a list is returned that is progressively populated with objects as seen by a custom
showwarning()
function (which also suppresses output to
sys.stdout
). Each object in the list has attributes with the same names as the arguments to
showwarning()
.
模块
argument takes a module that will be used instead of the module returned when you import
warnings
whose filter will be protected. This argument exists primarily for testing the
warnings
module itself.
注意
catch_warnings
manager works by replacing and then later restoring the module’s
showwarning()
function and internal list of filter specifications. This means the context manager is modifying global state and therefore is not thread-safe.
