It doesn't work as well, because assert stmts "vanish" when running
tests with -O. Luckily,
self.assert_(expression)
works fine in a unittest, with or without -O.
self.assertEqual(e1, e2)
is usually a lot better than
self.assert_(e1 == e2)
too, because the former displays the unequal values when it fails.
