Summary: Remove troublesome assert in trace.py

Initial Comment:
As mentioned in this thread,
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-November/049738.html
trace.py asserts that the filenames it deals with end
with .py.  This seems more trouble than it is worth. 
In addition to the problems mentioned on python-dev,
Twisted has also been monkey-patching trace.py (to
remove this assertion) to make it useable enough to
provide coverage information for Twisted applications.
 It'd be great to just take it out for 2.4.
