Title:
Detect tautological asserts
Status in Pyflakes:
New
Status in “pyflakes” package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
An assert of the form:
assert (x, 'blahblah')
is tautological, because a non-empty tuple always has a truth value of
True. However, it is common to mistakenly construct an assert
statement of this form when attempting to wrap it over multiple lines.
Python 2.6+ already issues a SyntaxWarning about this, but it would be
nice if Pyflakes detected it too.
