In Python, how does one catch warnings as if they were exceptions?

by

To handle warnings as errors simply use this:

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("error")

After this you will be able to catch warnings same as errors, e.g. this will work:

try:
    some_heavy_calculations()
except RuntimeWarning:
    breakpoint()

P.S. Added this answer because the best answer in comments contains misspelling: filterwarnigns instead of filterwarnings.
