[py-dev] Bug in assert statement

When you do something like:

     assert 0, dir(module)

You get an exception from the assert reinterpretation.  Asserting with a 
non-string message normally works fine.

I've also noticed a problem when your assert statement contains an 
object who's __repr__ returns a string with a newline in it.

I've put a test in the repository at 
http://codespeak.net/svn/user/ianb/py_test_assert_failure/test_asserts.py
