[AstroPy] Capturing pyfits warnings

[Bridgman, William T.]

Jim,

That's what I suspect, I just want to produce a full list of them.

Now it appears that if I raise the warning to an exception, it skips  
the header load which causes my file summary section (which parses the  
file header) to fail.

I seem to be faced with the choice of

1) recording the warning, and not getting info on data that is  
otherwise at least partially readable, or
2) not capturing the warning and getting a file summary.

I have a couple of ideas for getting around this issue, but none of  
them are very clean.  Now I can fall completely into the camp that  
this type of warning should *not* be treated as an error.

Right now, the files indicating problems are not the ones I need for  
my current project so I will have to shelve this problem for now.

Thanks for your assistance,
Tom
