There is a thread on StackOverflow related to this problem:

The (currently only and accepted) answer proposes as a workaround to set the PYTHONPATH variable, as the contents of those apparently *are* already in sys.path at the time warnings._processoptions is called, unlike site-packages.  So manually adding site-packages to the PYTHONPATH variable does circumvent this problem (tested in Python 3.7.1).
