[Tutor] Re: Catching warnings?

[Liam Clarke]

I'm only using rotor because I couldn't get the a2b_uu functions to work : ) 
I just need to render something into not-plaintext. It's not hugely
important, all the email passwords are defaults anyway....

And Bill - 

try:

   import rotor

except:
     pass

which is now replaced with - 

from warnings import *
filterwarnings('ignore',"", DeprecationWarning, "", 0)

But yes, any suggestions on what to replace rotor with would be appreciated.

Regards,

Liam Clarke
