Suppressing DeprecationWarning invalid escape sequence from specific modules in pytest6

We recently updated to pytest-6.2 and have discovered a dependency that is quite noisy with DeprecationWarning: invalid escape sequence warnings, which I know needs fixing, but is out of my control.

This noise is a distraction from the module under test, and I would like to suppress these warnings

I have added the following to my pytest.ini

filterwarnings =
    ignore::DeprecationWarning:module_name.*

And suppressions work for things like:

 DeprecationWarning: Using or importing the ABCs from 'collections' instead of from 'collections.abc' is deprecated since Python 3.3, and in 3.10 it will stop working

But I still get invalid escape sequence warnings:

DeprecationWarning: invalid escape sequence \s

Is there are reason for this?

Does this help? https://stackoverflow.com/a/50821160/11246056 – Laurent May 20 '21 at 06:41
Thats where I got the syntax and example for mine above, so it helped, but it doesn't answer the specific question about `DeprecationWarning: invalid escape sequence` – Adam Clark May 20 '21 at 08:44
`ignore:*.invalid escape sequence.*:DeprecationWarning:`? – hoefling May 20 '21 at 22:19
Yup, that works, but also includes my modules, I just want to hide noisy dependencies for which I have little/no control. – Adam Clark May 22 '21 at 08:22
