Python error while using MysqlDb - sets module is deprecated

Question

I'm currently getting the warning every time I run a Python script that uses MySQLdb:

/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/MySQLdb/__init__.py:34:
DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
  from sets import ImmutableSet

I'd rather not mess with their lib if possible. I'm on Ubuntu server. Anyone know an easy way to fix that warning message?

Thanks

UPDATE: Fixed it based on the suggestions below and this link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505611

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore', '.*the sets module is deprecated.*',
                        DeprecationWarning, 'MySQLdb')
import MySQLdb

Answer 1

Do this before the mysql module is imported

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings(action="ignore", message='the sets module is deprecated')
import sets

Answer 2

You can ignore the warning using the warnings module, or the -W argument to Python. Don't ignore all DeprecationWarnings, though, just the ones from MySQLdb :)
