Only if they actively pass the command line switch to turn it off, Not necessarily actively. On Linux you can set up command aliases, e.g. `alias python=python -O` and I dare say there is some equivalent under Windows. Once you have done so (which could be many months in the past, and forgotten about) you no longer need to actively specify -O to run with optimization on. which I'd assume someone intentionally using an assertion wouldn't do. Provided that they know the side-effect of -O, and that the code contains an assertion. Not all code is executed by the same person who wrote it, and not all people remember every fine detail about every script they wrote. I couldn't possibly tell you what all my scripts do without checking the source code. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

My trick to make sure something is running is to add assert 0. To be fair, I usually start by adding a print statement, as Dave suggests. If I see the output, I know it ran. But if I don't see the output, there's two possibilities. Either it didn't run, or it ran but something snarfed the output and hid it from my eyes. That's common in test frameworks. It's also common in background processes where stdout goes who-knows-where, and it's anybody's guess how the logging config might be borked. On the other hand, an assert 0 is pretty much guaranteed to produce some visible evidence that it ran. About the only thing that would stop it is if somebody had wrapped the code in a try block which caught AssertionError (or Exception). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
