Although this won't help you right now, Python 2.7 and 3.2 will have a new
environment variable $PYTHONWARNINGS which can be set to control warnings just
like the -W flags.  I submitted this bug report after the last attempt to
upgrade to Python 2.6 revealed this problem.  It's probably too late to try to
officially backport this into Python 2.6 for Lucid though.
