[New-bugs-announce] [issue9754] assertWarns and assertWarnsRegexp

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

Similar to assertRaises and assertRaisesRegexp, unittest should provide assertWarns and assertWarnsRegexp, to check that a given callable (or piece of code) triggers a particular warning.

Currently, you have to do that manually using a mixture of warnings.catch_warnings and warnings.filterwarnings, which is pretty annoying.
