This is tracked in this issue:

http://bugs.python.org/issue24294 <http://bugs.python.org/issue24294> :  DeprecationWarnings should be visible by default in the interactive REPL

IPython have enabled them only if they come from __main__. From totally subjective experience, 
that has already pushed a few library to update their code to new apis[1].
