Default Warning Filters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By default, Python installs several warning filters, which can be overridden by
the command-line options passed to :option:`-W` and calls to
:func:`filterwarnings`.
* :exc:`DeprecationWarning` and :exc:`PendingDeprecationWarning`, and
:exc:`ImportWarning` are ignored.
* :exc:`BytesWarning` is ignored unless the :option:`-b` option is given once or
twice; in this case this warning is either printed (``-b``) or turned into an
exception (``-bb`).
* :exc:`ResourceWarning` is ignored unless Python was built in debug mode.
.. versionchanged:: 3.2
:exc:`DeprecationWarning` is now ignored by default in addition to
:exc:`PendingDeprecationWarning`.
