[New-bugs-announce] [issue23776] Don't use assert for checking arguments in pprint

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

The assert statement should be used only for checking internal logic, and not for checking user data. These assertions should be either removed or converted into explicit raising ValueError.
