The problem with that is it means developers who switch to Python 3.2 or whatever are suddenly going to have their tests fail until they update their code to turn the warnings off. That sounds like a feature to me... :-) I think Ezio was suggesting just turning warnings on by default when unittest is run, not turning them into errors. Ezio is suggesting that developers could explicitly turn warnings off again, but when you use the default test runner warnings would be shown. His logic is that warnings are for developers, and so are tests...
