Currently -O optimizer flag disables assert statements.

I want to ask that more fine-grained control is offered to users over the assert statements. In many cases, it would be nice to have the option of keeping asserts in release code, while still performing optimizations (if any are offered in the future). It can be achieved by removing the "disable assertions" feature of the -O flag, and instead adding a new flag that does nothing but disables asserts.

This should be discussed on python-dev (http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev) or python-ideas (http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas).

I am closing this because there was no followup for over 9 years. If you are still interested in pursuing this, please raise it for discussion on python-ideas and open a new issue once there is agreement on how to proceed.
