Recently we added "-Wd" flags to buildbots. I was wondering about the effect of it. documentation doesn't help.

I could study the code, but I guess other people can have the very same question and I think the answer should be in the archives, somewhere. I studied the code ;) -Wd enables all warnings. It adds 'd' to sys.warnoptions, which in turn adds a new first entry to warnings.filters which matches all warnings and enables the "default" behavior, which is to show it once per execution of the Python interpreter. For example, if you run "python -Wd" on the current trunk (2.7) and execute the statement "import bsddb" you get a PendingDeprecationWarning exception. Without -Wd that warning would be suppressed. Hope I didn't miss any important subtleties, Nope, you got it right. A little bit of documentation is in 2.7: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/warnings.html#updating-code-for-new-versions-of-python .
