Hi

I am working on issue #7949, and need to use "-3" switch while running python 2.7 for my tests. python -3 -c "import numpy as np; np.test()"

Several errors are reported and all all of them are DeprecationWarnings, which is ok. (https://travis-ci.org/njase/numpy/ jobs/162733502)

OK, most of them seem harmless (i.e. don't use the slice C-slot....).

I think we should just get rid of the slice C-slot thing globally, the simplest way would be to go to numpy/testing/nosetester.py, look for things like `sup.filter(message='Not importing directory')`. Then, maybe specific `if sys.version_info.major == 2 and sys.py3kwarning`, just add some `sup.filter` such as:

``` if sys.version_info.major == 2 and sys.py3kwarning:     sup.filter(DeprecationWarning, message="in 3.x, __setslice__")     sup.filter(DeprecationWarning, message="in 3.x, __getslice__")

``` First scrolling through the errors, my guess is that the other errors we can also silence more locally.

This silencing might also leek to scipy, but frankly I am not worried about it for those slots. The threading warnings seem also quite noisy (and useless), but not sure right away what the best approach for that would be.

But now these errors must be either fixed or skipped. This is where I am facing problem. Pls suggest:

1. Identify that python was invoked with -3 and skip these cases:

There seems no way to know if python was invoked with -3 sys.argv only reports about "-c" and ignores other switches

2. Fix these issues: All of them are about deprecated APIs and new

APIs have been introduced in python 3. Since I am using python 2.x, I don't see a way to fix them

What to do?
