Robert has already mentioned that his post was hasty and had several
errors in it.  The posted line is harder to read due to the lack of
whitespace between 'assert' and '('.  Anyways, just FYI, assert can
take a 2-tuple as its only "argument"

assert ( 0 , "Hello World" )

is equivalent to

assert 0 , "Hello World"

It is quite useful when the expression, or more often, the string is
too long.  By using parens to create a tuple the \ prior to the
newline is not necessary.
