Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Perhaps it would be better to raise SystemError for errors in user extensions and left assert() only for checking invariants that can't be broken by user code. But checking the condition takes time, assert() is cheaper.
Perhaps it would be better to replace some of asserts in non-critical code with runtime checks and PyErr_BadArgument()/PyErr_BadInternalCall(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29941> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
