+Default Warning Filters
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+By default, Python installs several warning filters, which can be overridden by
+the command-line options passed to :option:`-W` and calls to
+:func:`filterwarnings`.
+
+* :exc:`DeprecationWarning` and :exc:`PendingDeprecationWarning`, and
+  :exc:`ImportWarning` are ignored.
+
+* :exc:`BytesWarning` is ignored unless the :option:`-b` option is given once or
+  twice; in this case this warning is either printed (``-b``) or turned into an
+  exception (``-bb`).
+
+.. versionchanged:: 3.2
+   :exc:`DeprecationWarning` is now ignored by default in addition to
+   :exc:`PendingDeprecationWarning`.
