[Tutor] Re: Catching warnings?

[Bill Mill]

Liam,

The 'rotor' module is deprecated:

>>> import rotor
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: the rotor module uses an insecure algorithm and
is deprecated

If we want to ignore the error, we can simply catch it as we do any
other exception:

>>> try:
...     import rotor
... except DeprecationWarning: 
...     pass
...
>>>

Peace
