How do I make this work?In mysite/apps/simple/views.py I have: from django.core.extensions import render_to_response def saysomething(request): assert False, "Test assert" return render_to_response('base', {'message': "My message."})The inclusion of the 'assert' line causes it to throw exception "TemplateDoesNotExist: 500" and no sign of the output from assert anywhere.
That's because you have DEBUG off, so Django is looking for a template "500.html" to display a "nice" error message fit for public consumption. If you turn DEBUG on, you'll see the assertion error.
