To unpack Guido's response slightly, Py3k specific deprecation
warnings are only triggered if you pass the "-3" flag on the command
line. So "-We" won't cause them to throw an exception, but "-We -3"
will.

(Python 2.6.5, started with "-We")
>>> warnings.warnpy3k("Test")
>>> sys.py3kwarning = True
>>> warnings.warnpy3k("Test")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/warnings.py", line 22, in warnpy3k
    warn(message, category, stacklevel+1)
DeprecationWarning: Test

Cheers,
Nick.
