[New-bugs-announce] [issue19562] Added description for assert statement

[Srinivas Reddy T]

New submission from Srinivas  Reddy T:

Added descriptive message to assert statement in datetime module.
Since _check_date_fields does the job of data integrity, i did not check for ValueError, TypeError checks in the function.

However, i am not sure of the adding descriptive messages to the other assert statements like, assert seconds == int(seconds). And isn't this too much defensive programming?
