Ah, so I think I don't understand the proposal. In your original message, is it your intention that the assert raises TypeError, or that it raises AssertionError?
Again: what's the benefit over existing solutions? Either:
if not isinstance(data, basestring):
raise TypeError("Bad user! You gave me the wrong type")
or
assert isinstance(data, basestring), "data should be a string at this point"
?
