Shut up the RuntimeWarnings during fitting about powerlaw

[jeffalstott]

You can ignore the warnings as long as there's a fit. As long as the
resulting parameters don't have nans or infs, it's a valid fit.

Should I safely ignore these warnings as long as a fit is produce? Which
would be the error when the package fail to produce a good fit and, then, I
should discard the result? Is it possible at all that the program fail
generating an appropriate fit?

I don't really mind the warning as long as there is an accompanying
message indicated that the package successfully generated the fit.

@trungdong Done.

Hey @jeffalstott, thanks for making this. Related question: can I shut up the message:
Calculating best minimal value for power law fit?

[jeffalstott]

Hi @albertocottica,

I've just added an option to Fit(), verbose, that can be set to False to turn off that message and the message that data <=0 is dropped. If that works for you, I can update the package on PyPi.

Hey, that was quick. Thanks a lot.

It would be really nice if the fix for the above is released on PyPi.

I'm running the powerlaw fittings on thousands of distributions and seeing that many "Calculating..." messages clogging the screen and drowning out all other application messages is no fun.

Thank you!
