#29 assert is a keyword, not a function

[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]

It would be nice if pychecker could warn when assert
is called with a tuple, ie. looking like a function call.

assert(exp,"message")

assert is particularly dangerous when used like this.
print will do something, assert will do nothing, ever.

Warning on other statements could still be good though.

This should be implemented currently. Do you have an
example where it doesn't work?

*** Here's the code:

neal@janus pychecker $ cat tt.py

def f(exp):
assert(exp,"message")
print 'hi there'

*** And the results:

neal@janus pychecker $ ./pychecker/checker.py tt.py
Processing tt...

Warnings...
