[Python-Dev] PEP-317

[Steven Taschuk]

Quoth Terence Way:
> There is a rather pleasing symmetry between
>      raise SomeClass, arg
> and
>      assert expr, arg
> 
> Is this intentional?  If so, should the assert form be deprecated as
> well?

I don't see why.  Certainly none of the PEP's arguments against
the raise syntax apply at all to assert.
