[issue20277] default __debug__ value and asserts

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord added the comment:

Having __debug__ True by default is unintuitive and not particularly useful. However it is relatively well known, so although it is "rarely" used that probably only means hundreds of thousands of piece of code. So it isn't going to change I'm afraid.
