FYI:
http://docs.python.org/library/warnings.html
"DeprecationWarning Base category for warnings about deprecated features (ignored by default)."
Maybe DeprecationWarnings should be changed to something that isn't ignored by default so users see it?
The Python devs made DeprecationWarnings silent by default for a reason. They unnecessarily annoy and frighten application end users who don't know what they are, where they are coming from, or how to silence them. The recommended practice is for library users (who do or should know those things) to run their test suites with the warnings turned on.

You make a very convincing point-- makes complete sense.
