It is useful because "assert" is primarily (if not purely and exclusive) a debugging tool during development and testing. In production code you don't want any asserts, but logging. Having "assert" being a function would make it much harder to get rid of it in production code. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
