I'd like to put forth a caution on the use of asserts for program
logic. If you run python with -O, the asserts are compiled out:

% echo "assert False" > assert.py
% python assert.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "assert.py", line 1, in ?
    assert False
AssertionError
% python -O assert.py
%
