Useless warning message on load_model

[osma]

In the Python bindings of version 0.9.2, every time I call load_model - which in my understanding is the correct way to load saved models - fastText prints this message on stderr:

Warning : load_model does not return WordVectorModel or SupervisedModel any more, but a FastText object which is very similar.

It's defined on this line

I understand that sometimes it's useful to explain API changes to users, especially when deprecated features are being accessed and better ways exist. But this seems a bit excessive, since there is no other way of loading the model so no easy way to avoid the message.

I silenced the warning by monkeypatching eprint like this:

fasttext.FastText.eprint = lambda x: None

This is related to #909 which reported a problem (since fixed) that the warning message was printed as a blank line.

Hi @osma ,
Thank you very much for your feedback.

This message was added to facilitate the transition between our old python module to the new one, as described here.

The message was removed by the commit 9ef22d9.

I will close the issue now. Thank you again for feedback.

@Celebio can you publish new version on pypi? My package denend from fasttext, but I can't publish him:

Invalid value for requires_dist. Error: Can't have direct dependency: 'fasttext @ https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText/archive/a20c0d27cd0ee88a25ea0433b7f03038cd728459.zip#egg=fasttext-0.9.2'
