You should confirm this.  There is a chance that the function is not 
NULL, and the warnings.warn() function is dumping it to stdout.

It doesn't sound like we are sure about that.

It should never be NULL.  Python's startup (see pythonrun.c) sets this 
value.  Thus is should only be NULL is "import warnings" failed during 
startup.
