[Python-ideas] Making assert raise a different exception type

[cool-RR]

Hello!

I would have liked to do something like this:

assert some_false_condition, ValueError("Message")

Meaning that if the assertion fails, the ValueError is raised instead of
AssertionError. Do you think it's something that has a chance of being
implemented? If so, I will write a PEP.

Ram.
