[New-bugs-announce] [issue43497] SyntaxWarning for "assertion is always true, perhaps remove parentheses?" does not work with constants

[Greg Darke]

New submission from Greg Darke <darke at google.com>:

The following block of code does not produce a SyntaxWarning in python 3.7 and above (it does produce a warning in python 3.6 and below):

```
assert(False, 'msg')
```

If the tuple is not a constant (for example `(x, 'msg')`), then a warning is still produced.
