pywinauto 0.6.5 with Python 3.7 showing deprecation warnings from common_controls.py

I recently upgraded pywinauto to test with Python 3.7 (previous setup was pywinauto 0.6.4 with Python 2,7). In this new setup I am seeing a large number of DeprecationWarnings being output to the terminal from …\pywinauto\controls\common_controls.py.

e.g.,

..\testPyWinAutoPython37\venvTestPython37\lib\site-packages\pywinauto\controls\common_controls.py:776: DeprecationWarning: Method .ItemCount() is deprecated, use .item_count() instead.
  return self.get_header_control().ItemCount()
..\testPyWinAutoPython37\venvTestPython37\lib\site-packages\pywinauto\controls\common_controls.py:776: DeprecationWarning: Method .ItemCount() is deprecated, use .item_count() instead.
  return self.get_header_control().ItemCount()
..\testPyWinAutoPython37\venvTestPython37\lib\site-packages\pywinauto\controls\common_controls.py:179: DeprecationWarning: ListView item properties "text", "state", "image" and "indent" are deprecated! Use methods text(), state(), image() and indent().
  'Use methods text(), state(), image() and indent().', DeprecationWarning)
..\testPyWinAutoPython37\venvTestPython37\lib\site-packages\pywinauto\controls\common_controls.py:776: DeprecationWarning: Method .ItemCount() is deprecated, use .item_count() instead.
  return self.get_header_control().ItemCount()
..\testPyWinAutoPython37\venvTestPython37\lib\site-packages\pywinauto\controls\common_controls.py:179: DeprecationWarning: ListView item properties "text", "state", "image" and "indent" are deprecated! Use methods text(), state(), image() and indent().
  'Use methods text(), state(), image() and indent().', DeprecationWarning)
..\testPyWinAutoPython37\venvTestPython37\lib\site-packages\pywinauto\controls\common_controls.py:776: DeprecationWarning: Method .ItemCount() is deprecated, use .item_count() instead.

I’ve googled how to suppress these warnings, but none of the suggestions I’ve seen so far have worked (e.g., suggestions here How to ignore deprecation warnings in Python)

Any advice on how to stop these warnings from being output to the terminal during run of scripts that use pywinauto?

BTW, we recently made additional clean ups in commaon_controls.py (see rev: 3b66563b05be9f3061a8be33ef00f0019ed12567). @parlar , you could check it with the current sources from the trunk.

Good catch! I’ll consider this as a high priority for next update release.

This workaround should disable warnings:

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=DeprecationWarning)

If it doesn’t help, you may need to clear all filters by warnings.resetwarnings() and then apply ignore filter.
