Python | Issue Warning Message

The arguments to warn() are a warning message along with a warning class, which is typically one of the following: UserWarning, DeprecationWarning, SyntaxWarning, RuntimeWarning, ResourceWarning, or FutureWarning.
The handling of warnings depends on how the interpreter is executed and other configuration. If Python with the -W all option is run, the following output is obtained:

bash % python3 -W all example.py
example.py:5: DeprecationWarning: logfile argument is deprecated
 warnings.warn('logfile argument is deprecated', DeprecationWarning)

Normally, warnings just produce output messages on standard error. To turn warnings into exceptions, use the -W error option.

Code #2 :

bash % python3 -W error example.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "example.py", line 10, in 
        func(2, 3, logfile ='log.txt')
    File "example.py", line 5, in func
        warnings.warn('logfile argument is deprecated', 
                      DeprecationWarning)
DeprecationWarning: logfile argument is deprecated
bash %

Issuing a warning message is often a useful technique for maintaining software and assisting users with issues that don’t necessarily rise to the level of being a full-fledged exception.

Code #3 : Warning message generated by destroying a file without closing it.

Output :

__main__:1: ResourceWarning: unclosed file
