Hello,
For the third time I am trying to work with `PYTHONWARNINGS` filter,
and for the third time I am having a terrible time. I'd like to seek
your assistance, I have a few questions:
**Question 1:** Does the environment variable only matter at python
interpreter startup time? If I set the same variable before python
start, it seems to work, but it doesn't work trough os.environ. It
does appear to be hinted at in the docs, but imho not clear enough.
Yes, environment variables are only relevant when the interpreter starts
up. The documentation (on the command line environment in general, not
specific to PYTHONWARNINGS) says "These environment variables influence
Python’s behavior, they are processed before the command-line switches
other than -E or -I.". That implies they don't do anything if changed
after startup.
More specific to warnings, the documentation for the -W option (which is
referenced in the PYTHONWARNINGS environment variable) says "Warnings
can also be controlled using the PYTHONWARNINGS environment variable and
from within a Python program using the warnings module." implying the
same, and giving an alternative for controlling warnings from within Python.
**Question 2:** Why do the following filters not work for filtering
`urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning`
- `PYTHONWARNINGS=ignore:::urllib3.exceptions`
- `PYTHONWARNINGS=ignore:::urllib3`
- `PYTHONWARNINGS=ignore:::urllib3.exceptions`
- `PYTHONWARNINGS=ignore::urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning`
None of these filter the warning. The last one has the audacity to
complain about "invalid module name: 'urllib3.exceptions'" which is
very confusing to me, given that that specific module is fully
importable during runtime, which I have tested. The only one I managed
to get working is `ignore:Unverified`, where "Unverified" is the first
word of the actual message, however I truly strongly dislike this
solution.
I'd like to try this out myself, but I'm not familiar with urllib3 and I
can't get to issue that warning; instead it throws exceptions (I tried a
simple request with some of the URL's listed on https://badssl.com). How
can I get urllib3 to issue that warning?
Also, which version of Python are you using, and on which operating system?
