R. David Murray added the comment:

I think it would be confusing for assert to raise anything other than an 
AssertionError, so I also think this should be rejected.

It might be interesting for there to be a way to call unittest's assert methods 
in a debug context (that is, without having to have a test case around), but 
that is a very non-trivial (and probably impractical) thought :)
