[New-bugs-announce] [issue44296] Should warnings.warn default to stacklevel=2?

[Anthony Sottile]

New submission from Anthony Sottile <asottile at umich.edu>:

I have yet to come across a usecase where `stacklevel=1` makes sense -- usually it is more helpful to point at the calling code than the function which is itself warning

my proposal is to update the default for `stacklevel=` from `1` to `2`

an example bpo where this is relevant is bpo-44295
