Grant> In the meantime, how do I get rid of this useless warning? I thought something like this would work:
% python2.5 -W 'ignore:.*:Warning:.*:0' Python 2.5.3a0 (release25-maint:66627M, Sep 26 2008, 14:40:24) [GCC 4.2.2] on sunos5 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> with = 8 <stdin>:1: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6 but so far, no joy in Mudville. Futz around with that and see if you can make it work. I used this documentation section to come up with what I've got so far: http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/warning-filter.html The 2.6 docs look more fleshed out: http://docs.python.org/library/warnings.html but I haven't checked to see if it offers a little more detail about supressing warnings from the command line.
