Hey Nathan,

It seems to me that the built-in python syntax is actually more concise:

>>> assert value_one == value_two

and:

>>> assert value_one > value_two

.. Plus you can add a helpful message:

>>> assert value_one > value_two, "value_one should have been > than value_two"


Is that not what you want?

Cheers,
