PEP 679 -- Allow parentheses in assert statements

I think that the key aspect of this PEP is to make what a lot of users expect to work just work , not to offer a new better way that’s superior to the old one.

I have more thoughts than I can fit in a comment here, so I wrote a draft that does the opposite – try to steer toward a better language: Pre-PEP: Assert-with: Dedicated syntax for assertion messages
