Suppress OpenMP debug messages when running Tensorflow on CPU

Question

When running a Python program on Linux that includes import tensorflow (installed without GPU support), a bunch of OpenMP debug messages are written to stdout,

Answer 1

As the other answer told me what to do but not exactly how to do it, I decided to add my answer.

If you want to suppress these warnings, you can do so by setting the KMP_WARNINGS environment variable to a false value. In code, you can do this as follows; in your script you need to first import os and then set the environ variable, like so:

import os
os.environ["KMP_WARNINGS"] = "FALSE" 

Any false value works here as long its a string format, "0" , "off" and "no" will also work.
