Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:99 aschilling]:
 > That's why we added this (since this can potentially be a common user
 mistake). If this should be done differently, feel free to change it!
 Yes, it should be done differently.  The correct way would be:
 {{{
 if not needed_condition:
     raise ValueError("Error message")
 }}}

 As I said: `assert` is only meant to catch ''bugs'', not user errors.
 Although, as Nicolas Thiéry argued, something `assert` is acceptible.  See
 also the sage-devel thread.
