As part of this though, I'd suggest amending the documentation for DeprecationWarning [1] to specifically cover how to turn it off programmatically (warnings.simplefilter("ignore",_ _DeprecationWarning)), at the command line (python -W_ _ignore::DeprecationWarning ...), and via the environment (PYTHONWARNINGS=ignore::DeprecationWarning).

I'm wondering if it would be sensible to recommend only disabling the warnings if running with a known version of Python e.g.

if sys.version_info < (3, 8): with warnings.simplefilter('ignore', DeprecationWarning): import module

The idea here is to prompt the developer to refactor to not use the deprecated functionality early enough that users aren't impacted.
