[New-bugs-announce] [issue25487] imp module DeprecationWarning in test suite

[Martin Panter]

New submission from Martin Panter:

I typically run the test suite with the “python -bWall” options enabled, and there is a new warning. I suspect it is a result of the DeprecationWarning upgrade in revision 5877c191b76e. When -Werror is enabled it causes test failure.

The fix is probably pretty easy; there are probably other deprecated modules tested in the test suite to copy from. I think there is a test.support function that can suppress deprecation warnings while importing a particular module.

$ make -s -j2 && LC_TIME= ./python -bWall -m test.regrtest -j0
