I would have used ...WARNING = 9, see the comment 3 lines below.

Does it work with your pyflakey :-D plugin, I assumed that was what
you wanted it for?

Thats a lot more work, ATM Geany only has one regex used to extract
lines containing error messages and the related line numbers they
occur in, so the error message can link to the source line.  Those
source lines get the wavey red underline indicator.

There needs to be some way of having the regex distinguish which
messages are errors and which are warnings and then use different
indicators.

Currently the line number and the filename are extracted as two
matches in the regex, maybe the third match group could be for a
warning line number if there was no error line number.  Or preferably
named matches error_line, warning_line and filename could be used if
Geany's regex supports it.

Note that if the regex does not exist a fallback hack (which I
described recently as a hairy hardcoded heuristic) is used. I don't
suggest changing this.

Cheers
