I meant avoiding the overhead of the expression evaluation enclosed in the 
assert itself, not the active/disabled state (that comes at virtually no cost).
ex:
runtime_assert( { i:None for i in range( 10000000 ) } )

By using the syntax you describe ('boolean and not expr'), you loose all the 
benefit of the Python grammar:
- self-contained

Could you please explain what you mean?

- able to catch semantic/syntax bugs

ex:
f=1
runtime_assert( f==1 )
runtime_assert( f=1 )
   File "<stdin>", line 1
     runtime_assert( f=1 )
                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Until inline assignment expression is implemented, this is an error too:

>>> if debug and not f=1:
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    if debug and not f=1:
                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
