Disable warnings originating from scipy

Question

As I integrate a function at different parameter values, I often encounter errors like:

 lsoda--  warning..internal t (=r1) and h (=r2) are
   such that in t         


        

Answer 1

Using J.F. Sebastian's stdout_redirected, you could redirect stdout at the file descriptor level to os.devnull.

with stdout_redirected():
    soln2 = integrate.odeint(f, y2, t2, mxstep = 5000)

Outside of the with-statement, stdout still gets printed. Inside the with-suite, stdout is suppressed.

For example, here is Caeiro's odeint example whose lsoda warnings are suppressed with stdout_redirected.

import os
import sys
import contextlib
import numpy as np
import scipy.integrate as integrate
from numpy import pi

def fileno(file_or_fd):
    fd = getattr(file_or_fd, 'fileno', lambda: file_or_fd)()
    if not isinstance(fd, int):
        raise ValueError("Expected a file (`.fileno()`) or a file descriptor")
    return fd

@contextlib.contextmanager
def stdout_redirected(to=os.devnull, stdout=None):
    """
    https://stackoverflow.com/a/22434262/190597 (J.F. Sebastian)
    """
    if stdout is None:
       stdout = sys.stdout

    stdout_fd = fileno(stdout)
    # copy stdout_fd before it is overwritten
    #NOTE: `copied` is inheritable on Windows when duplicating a standard stream
    with os.fdopen(os.dup(stdout_fd), 'wb') as copied: 
        stdout.flush()  # flush library buffers that dup2 knows nothing about
        try:
            os.dup2(fileno(to), stdout_fd)  # $ exec >&to
        except ValueError:  # filename
            with open(to, 'wb') as to_file:
                os.dup2(to_file.fileno(), stdout_fd)  # $ exec > to
        try:
            yield stdout # allow code to be run with the redirected stdout
        finally:
            # restore stdout to its previous value
            #NOTE: dup2 makes stdout_fd inheritable unconditionally
            stdout.flush()
            os.dup2(copied.fileno(), stdout_fd)  # $ exec >&copied

       f2 = u*(D**3 - E**3)/(3*C**2)
       f3 = -u*(D**3 - E**3)/(3*D**2)
       f4 = u*(D**3 - E**3)/(3*E**2) + r*(B**3 + 3*B*C**2 + pi**2*T**2*B)/(3*E**2)
       return [f0, f1, f2, f3, f4]


t  = np.linspace(1e-15, 1e-10, 1000000)   # time grid
y2 = [2e13, 0, 50, 50, 25]
t2  = np.linspace(1.e-10, 1.e-5, 1000000)  

with stdout_redirected():
    soln2 = integrate.odeint(f, y2, t2, mxstep = 5000)

The warnings which lsoda writes to stdout are suppressed.
