I am running a Python script inside a Bash script. I use NumPy’s assert_allclose and assert at multiple places. I would like to run this Python script by disabling all such instances without manually commenting them out.

Here is a simple example:

python run.py

if __name__ == "__main__":
    assert False
    np.assert_allclose(1, 2)

I am aware of -O flag that can be added to python run.py. But this doesn’t seem to disable the NumPy’s assertion as np.assert_allclose uses raise AssertionError(msg) rather than assert itself.
