PYTHONOPTIMIZE=1 and asserts

[hhgabelgaard]

Hi
Thanks for a great project

Doodba set PYTHONOPTIMIZE=1 and as I understand that turns asserts statements into NOP's

But the Odoo core is sprinkled with asserts statements
E.g in ir_mail_server.py https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/15.0/odoo/addons/base/models/ir_mail_server.py#L482
where the purpose is:
partners with missing/invalid emails must not halt notifications to others
odoo/odoo@2fb2d9f

How do You run without this kind of tests? We see mail notifications not been sent - I mean, an email address could be deleted from a partner, that does not remove them as followers

Or am I on a wrong trail in my hunt for the missing notifications?

And is PYTHONOPTIMIZE=0 a valid solution ?

Good question. I opened odoo/documentation#1278 to see if Odoo can clarify it. Because actually ignoring assertions is common practice. But as many times happen, maybe Odoo has its own practice...
