Answer 1

If you want to trap it to ignore it see "Temporarily suppressing warnings" in Python's documentation:

https://docs.python.org/2/library/warnings.html#temporarily-suppressing-warnings

import warnings

with warnings.catch_warnings():
    warnings.simplefilter("ignore")
    # Put here your query raising a warning

Else, just read the doc about "warnings" module of Python, you can transform them into exception if you want to catch them later, etc... it's all here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/warnings.html
