Thanks!

This does the trick:

python -W'ignore:Not importing directory'

But this doesn't:

python -W'ignore:Not importing directory:ImportWarning'

I tried a bunch of variations without success. A few examples here would be
very valuable:

http://docs.python.org/lib/warning-filter.html

Also, the magic incantation to silence the warnings would be very helpful here:

http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/other-lang.html

Is there a way to set the warning options via an environment variable?
Otherwise I am forced to use a wrapper or aliases.
