Closes #91230, which was in turn motivated by pytest-dev/pytest#9404 (comment) and pytest-dev/pytest#9745 (comment): users evidently want a concise context manager to ignore all warnings in some block of code, and to error on warnings on some block of code.
Of course that can be done with the standard library
with warnings.catch_warnings():pluswarnings.simplefilter(...); but in practice this is quite rare. I believe that the trivial friction of needing two statements plays a substantial role here, and therefore thatwith warnings.catch_warnings(action="error"):(oraction="ignore") would be a substantial win for many people, especially in tests.I've specifically chosen
simplefilteroverfilterwarningsbecause the latter has a conflictingmoduleparameter.
