Briefly, the idea is to add a new assert that can be switch on/off depending on some variable/mechanism at runtime. The whole point of this assert is that it should not bring any overhead when off, i.e. by avoiding evaluating the expression enclosed in the runtime assert. It thus relies on Python grammar.
You should have an overhead for checking if it is switched on/off, isn't? And this overhead is virtually the same as testing the value of the global boolean variable.
runtime_assert( expr ) #would result in if expr and runtime_assert_active: print RuntimeAssertionError()
How this will be different from if debug and not expr: print(RuntimeAssertionError()) ? _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
