How is that different from every other case of shadowing a builtin?
len = 45
print(len("hello world"))
The ability to shadow builtins is a feature, not a bug.
I have no specific objection to changing assert so that it raises the
actual honest-to-goodness AssertionError, but that would be an
enhancement, not a bug-fix.
(To be honest, that's what I assumed it would do, until I tried it.)
