[Python-Dev] test.support.check_warnings

[Ethan Furman]

The docs say this [1]:
==========================================================
  test.support.check_warnings(*filters, quiet=True)

     A convenience wrapper for warnings.catch_warnings() that makes it easier to test that a warning was correctly 
raised. It is approximately equivalent to calling warnings.catch_warnings(record=True) with warnings.simplefilter() set 
to always and with the option to automatically validate the results that are recorded.

     check_warnings accepts 2-tuples of the form ("message regexp", WarningCategory) as positional arguments. If one or 
more filters are provided, or if the optional keyword argument quiet is False, it checks to make sure the warnings are 
as expected: each specified filter must match at least one of the warnings raised by the enclosed code or the test 
fails, and if any warnings are raised that do not match any of the specified filters the test fails. To disable the 
first of these checks, set quiet to True.
==========================================================

What I want is to make sure that DeprecationWarnings are being raised:
==========================================================
         with support.check_warnings(
                 ("automatic int conversions have been deprecated", DeprecationWarning),
                 quiet=False,
                 ):
             exec("'%x' % pi")
             exec("'%x' % 3.14")
             exec("'%X' % 2.11")
             exec("'%o' % 1.79")
             exec("'%c' % pi")
==========================================================

But if I throw in something that doesn't raise a deprecation warning, the test still passes:
==========================================================
             exec("'%d' % 3")
==========================================================

Am I doing something wrong?
