Ignoring python warnings
<p>I want to ignore all the <code>UserWarning</code> in my dev environment so that they are not printed into my error log file.</p>

<p>I've read the documentation of <code>warnings</code> module, and tried something like:</p>

<pre><code>import warnings
import the_module_that_warns

warnings.simplefilter("ignore", UserWarning)
</code></pre>

<p>But <code>UserWarning</code> still get printed, why's that?</p>
