Python : Assert usage
Overview
The application uses the assert method. Assert is a convenient way to insert debug statements in a program. It was discovered that some projects used assert to enforce interface constraints. However, assert is removed with compiling to optimised byte code (python -o producing \*.pyo files).
This caused various protections to be removed. The use of assert is also considered as general bad practice in OpenStack codebases.
