what are you proposing instead? Maybe:
assert assertion, raise ValueError("a message")
(currently a syntax error)
in what way is that better than your original:
if not assertion:
raise ValueError("a message")
or even:
if not assertion: raise ValueError("a message")
what is the value in the "assert" statement?
So why do we have athe at all? Because they ARE turned off by -OO :-)
