As noted in
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-May/065478.html
it looks like we need a new Python C API function to make new warnings
from the struct module non-useless. For example, runnning
test_zipfile on Windows now yields
"""
test_zipfile
C:\Code\python\lib\struct.py:63: DeprecationWarning: struct integer
overflow masking is deprecated
return o.pack(*args)
"""
This is useless because the message points _into_ struct.py, not to
the code calling struct.pack(). Consequently I have no idea where the
offending pack() call is, and neither do you ;-)
The current PyErr_Warn() doesn't allow for passing a non-zero
`stacklevel` argument to warnings.warn(), so there's little the C code
in _struct.c can do to make the warning more useful.
