Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
IIRC, I think I put this here a long while ago when replacing or removing a corresponding if-test that had always been compiled-in. The assertion was a way of validating that the refactoring and elimination of tests had not broken anything. If that was the case, I prefer to leave this in, perhaps with some comment. The control flow and known conditions at each step are a bit hairy in this part of the code. ---------- assignee: -> rhettinger nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4888> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
