disabling DeprecationWarning ?

[Clark C . Evans]

I have alot of older modules (that I'd rather not 
upgrade at this time), such as Mailman that 
constantly complain about the regex module
DeprecationWarning.  Anyway, this stuff generates
huge log files and is distracting.  I know
the regex module is deprechated.  Is there a way
to re-compile python 2.1 so that it doesn't complain?

In other words, I'd like to start using 2.1, but
I don't want to upgrade every python package
that I use...  

Thanks!
