Sorry, this had no sooner left my terminal than I realized that the file
argument is the output target, and nothing to do with fetching source.
I'd not put the data into the log if file is provided, because it may
be code trying to extract output formatting.

I'd do something like this:
     if file is not None:
         old_showwarning(message, category, filename, lineno, file, line)
         return
at the top of the code.
