A function will not be disabled by a run-time option to the Python
interpreter.
The statement 'assert expression' is almost equivalent to
if not expression: raise AssertionError('expression')
With the important difference that this will be active no matter what
options Python's interpreter is run with. That makes it quite a
different proposition from using ‘assert’ statements.
Which importand difference I pointed out (and you snipped) as a reason
to seldom use bare assert.
