How to suppress all Warnings

Question

The unit tests for a product that I am taking over have not been kept up with during the products development and they are very broken. I am trying to fix them as an exercise to become familiar with the code. However, the all the deprecation warnings are a PITA as they interfere with the display of the test results.

Is there a way to suppress the warnings when I execute the unit tests?

Thanks!

You can configure the warnings filter:

warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", "", DeprecationWarning)

or equivalently from the command-line:

python -W 'ignore::DeprecationWarning'

Obviously, proceed with caution.
