+1 on this. There are a number of "better exceptions" packages out there (for example, `better_exceptions` :-)) which would benefit from an improved mechanism to introspect failed assertions. A language change to make life easier for all those packages seems like an "obvious" feature to me.From there, it's a relatively small step to having a better *default* assertion reporting mechanism, but the PEP should focus on the machinery first, and the front end second IMO.
