Thanks for taking time to answer.
Please notice that OP already tried
warnings.simplefilter(action='error', category=ResourceWarning)
with no luck.

Also, in the answer, Daniel states the following:
"The ResourceWarning is indeed being generated during garbage collection,
and Python prints a message because it doesn't have a way to raise an
exception at that point."

If it were true that would have been rather unfortunate as I guess most
ResourceWarnings are being generated during garbage collection. In that case
to let users get hold on such warnings there would need to be created new
mechanism for gathering warnings (not based on exceptions as a mean of
transport).
