12.5. Exception Assertion¶
Raises
AssertionErrorif argument isFalseCan have optional message
Running Python with the
-Ooptimization flag disables assert statements
>>> admins = ['mwatney', 'mlewis', 'rmartinez']
>>>
>>> assert 'avogel' in admins, 'You must be an admin to edit this page'
Traceback (most recent call last):
AssertionError: You must be an admin to edit this page
12.5.1. Assert Keyword¶
Note the output of the following statements:
>>> data = [1, 2, 3]
>>>
>>> 1 in data
True
>>> 4 in data
False
In both examples from above, the output is visible. We can intercept it to the variable, but we need to define it and store those values.
In the next example assert keywords allows to proceed with execution,
if only the assertion is True.
>>> data = [1, 2, 3]
>>>
>>> assert 1 in data
>>>
>>> assert 4 in data
Traceback (most recent call last):
AssertionError
If the assertion is True (value 1 in a member of data) nothing
will happen. However if there is an error (value 4 is not a member of
data), then the exception (AssertionError) is raised.
Assertions can have additional information, which can help with debugging:
>>> data = [1, 2, 3]
>>>
>>> assert 4 in data, '4 must be in data'
Traceback (most recent call last):
AssertionError: 4 must be in data
12.5.2. Sequence Assertion¶
>>> data = [1, 2, 3]
>>>
>>> assert type(data) is list
>>> assert all(type(x) is int for x in data)
12.5.3. Use Case - 0x01¶
You can use assertions to check Python version.
>>> import sys
>>>
>>> assert sys.version_info >= (3, 11)
>>> assert sys.version_info >= (3, 11), 'Python 3.11+ required'

English:
1. Check value passed to a `result` function:
a. Check if `version` is greater or equal to `REQUIRED_VERSION`
b. If not, raise exception with message 'Python 3.10+ required'
2. Non-functional requirements:
a. Write solution inside `result` function
b. Mind the indentation level
c. Use `assert` kyword
3. Run doctests - all must succeed
Polish:
1. Sprawdź poprawność wartości przekazanej do funckji `result`:
a. Sprawdź czy `version` jest większe lub równe `REQUIRED_VERSION`
b. Jeżeli nie, podnieś wyjątek z komunikatem 'Python 3.10+ required'
2. Wymagania niefunkcjonalne:
a. Rozwiązanie zapisz wewnątrz funkcji `result`
b. Zwróć uwagę na poziom wcięć
c. Użyj słowa kluczowego `assert`
