If you want something more verbose, you have it:
>>> assert False, "verbose traceback"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AssertionError: verbose traceback
If you want something that won't be turned off by -O, you maybe need to
write your own:
def assert_(condition, msg=""):
if not condition:
raise AssertionError(msg)

Check out the warnings module.
