I currently have a patch to make it possible to change py3k warnings in Python through new functions in sys: issue 2458. I realize the functions are rather ugly, but I don't think there is another practical way to do it unless you want to be writing PySysGetObject and checking it for NULL whenever you add a Py3k warning. In Python we usually have to methods for the job, like setpy3kwarningmode and getpy3kwarningmode. I don't like the enable* and disable* style. Even the get/set methods are an ugly workaround for the fact, Python doesn't support module properties. :/ How do you like a macro or function PyErrWarn3k(msg) that does all the dirty work?

Which additional dirty work would it do? It should never have to do more than check a simple static C variable, for obvious reasons.
