Print only the message on warnings

I'm issuing lots of warnings in a validator, and I'd like to suppress everything in stdout except the message that is supplied to warnings.warn().

I.e., now I see this:

./file.py:123: UserWarning: My looong warning message
some Python code

I'd like to see this:

My looong warning message

Edit 2: Overriding warnings.showwarning() turned out to work:

def _warning(
    message,
    category = UserWarning,
    filename = '',
    lineno = -1):
    print(message)
...
warnings.showwarning = _warning
warnings.warn('foo')
warnings python

There is always monkeypatching:

import warnings

def custom_formatwarning(msg, *args, **kwargs):
    # ignore everything except the message
    return str(msg) + '\n'

warnings.formatwarning = custom_formatwarning
warnings.warn("achtung")
