Way to disable _CLOUD_SDK_CREDENTIALS_WARNING

See original GitHub issue

Is there a way to disable the warning _CLOUD_SDK_CREDENTIALS_WARNING, maybe by setting an environment variable? We have an application where we want users to use their gcloud user credentials since it is run on their local machine. If we ran the app as a service on a server, then a service account would make more sense.

UserWarning: Your application has authenticated using end user credentials from Google Cloud SDK. We recommend that most server applications use service accounts instead. If your application continues to use end user credentials from Cloud SDK, you might receive a “quota exceeded” or “API not enabled” error. For more information about service accounts, see https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/.

Incase anyone else is looking for the warning suppression mentioned in https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-auth-library-python/issues/271#issuecomment-395838430 this seems to do the trick:

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", "Your application has authenticated using end user credentials")

@theacodes I think there is a scenario your not taking into account: we (and many other) provide tools that allow the user to use his own resources (gcs bucket, vm, etc) and the fact that he already has gcloud setup the authentication for hims is very convenient. The google auth lib (python in our case) goes into the application default authentication file and nothing needs to be setup for auth again. Moreover this is how the boto lib works in AWS, it will be a pain that each tool will need to be setup again and request the same permission as gcloud.
