-#!/bin/bash
-
-# Check all future warnings in Python files, and report them with the version
-# where the FutureWarning was added.
-#
-# This is useful to detect features that have been deprecated, and should be
-# removed from the code. For example, if a line of code contains:
-#
-#     warning.warn('Method deprecated', FutureWarning, stacklevel=find_stack_level())
-#
-# Which is released in Pandas 0.20.0, then it is expected that the method
-# is removed before releasing Pandas 0.24.0, including the warning. If it
-# is not, this script will list this line, with the version 0.20.0, which
-# will make it easy to detect that it had to be removed.
-#
-# In some cases this script can return false positives, for example in files
-# where FutureWarning is used to detect deprecations, or similar. The EXCLUDE
-# variable can be used to ignore files that use FutureWarning, but do not
-# deprecate functionality.
-#
-# Usage:
-#
-#     $ ./list_future_warnings.sh
-
