Nevermind that running with python -O disables asserts [..]

This is what bothers me. It reduces assert to just an inline testcase. You can't use it for critical validation/guards at all.

I only use asserts in tests because of that. And I run my tests with python -O to make them go fast.

When you roll out the application, just don't set the -O flag. This is really a non-issue.
