David, the problem is that if you have the logging inside a loop, the
interpreter will have to evaluate the condition every time. With an assert you
guarantee that *no code* is executed.
I know that we can find thousands of ways to do that, even writing a dynamic
proxy for the Logger, and wrap the debug(), error() calls and return True, etc.
My is not telling developers to write "assert logger.debug('aa')" every time
that they want to log something, but instead giving them the option to do that
and be sure that *no code* is executed. Specially, because the return value of
log functions is not used at all.
Thanks for the responses.
