How to disable Python warnings?

There are a few different ways to disable warnings in Python, depending on the specific warning and the scope in which you want to suppress it.

One way to disable warnings is to use the warnings module to filter out specific warnings. You can use the filterwarnings() function to specify the warning you want to suppress, as well as the action to take when the warning is raised. For example, to disable the DeprecationWarning:

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

Another way to disable warnings is to use the -W command line option when running your Python script. For example, to ignore DeprecationWarning, you can run the script with the following command:

python -W ignore script.py

You can also use the PYTHONWARNINGS environment variable to control warnings in your script. For example, to ignore DeprecationWarning, you can set the environment variable before running the script:

export PYTHONWARNINGS="ignore:DeprecationWarning"

It's worth noting that disabling warnings could cause a problem, because warnings are raised to indicate potential issues in your code that could cause errors or unexpected behavior. It's advisable to fix the cause of the warning instead of disabling it.

Also, when working in a development environment, it's always recommended to keep the warnings enabled, because they are helpful to detect errors and bugs in your code.
