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/lib/module-warnings.html

You probably want to do:

warnings.filterwarnings("ignore")

Hope this helps!
