Currently Python has non-intuitive behavior such that PYTHONWARNINGS environmental variable has higher priority than -W command line options.

$ python3.4 -c '__import__("warnings").warn("xxx", DeprecationWarning)'
$ python3.4 -Wd -c '__import__("warnings").warn("xxx", DeprecationWarning)'
-c:1: DeprecationWarning: xxx
$ python3.4 -We -c '__import__("warnings").warn("xxx", DeprecationWarning)'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
DeprecationWarning: xxx
$ PYTHONWARNINGS="e" python3.4 -Wd -c '__import__("warnings").warn("xxx", DeprecationWarning)'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
DeprecationWarning: xxx
$ PYTHONWARNINGS="d" python3.4 -We -c '__import__("warnings").warn("xxx", DeprecationWarning)'
-c:1: DeprecationWarning: xxx
$


I think that settings from -W command line options should have higher priority than PYTHONWARNINGS environmental variable.

(Adding people from issue #7301 to nosy list.)
