Turning off warnings

[Paulo Pinto]

Hi,

I need to generate a temporary name for a
file and pass it as argument to a shell
script.

Now when I use os.tempnam() or os.tmpnam()
I get a runtime warning about security issues.

I am well aware of them, but in the context of
this application I really don't need to care
about it.

Is there any way to turn the message off?

Thanks,
Paulo

You can either do so from the commandline, or use the warning module.
You probably want to use the latter.
The documentation for the warnings module can be found at:

http://www.python.org/dev/doc/devel/...-warnings.html

You probably want to do:

warnings.filterwarnings("ignore")

Hope this helps!

Gerrit.

import os, warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", "tempnam")
os.tempnam()

Or use the *updated for security in 2.3* tempfile module

pydoc tempfile

or
