Description: ensure: Literate assertions in Python
        =====================================
        
        *ensure* is a set of simple assertion helpers that let you write more expressive, literate, concise, and readable
        Pythonic code for validating conditions. It's inspired by `should.js <https://github.com/visionmedia/should.js>`_,
        `expect.js <https://github.com/LearnBoost/expect.js>`_, and builds on top of the
        `unittest/JUnit assert helpers <http://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html#assert-methods>`_.
        
        Because *ensure* is a standalone library (not part of a test framework), doesn't monkey-patch anything or use DSLs, and
        doesn't use the assert statement (which is liable to be turned off with the ``-O`` flag), it can be used to validate
        conditions in production code, not just for testing (though it certainly works as a BDD test utility library).
        
        Aside from better looking code, a big reason to use *ensure* is that it provides more consistent, readable, and
        informative error messages when things go wrong. See
        `Motivation and Goals <https://github.com/kislyuk/ensure#motivation-and-goals>`_ for more.

        Motivation and goals
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        Many BDD assertion libraries suffer from an excess of magic, or end up having to construct statements that don't parse
        as English easily. *ensure* is deliberately kept simple to avoid succumbing to either issue. The
        `source <https://github.com/kislyuk/ensure/blob/master/ensure/__init__.py>`_ is easy to read and extend.
        
        Work remains to make error messages raised by *ensure* even more readable, informative, and consistent. Going forward,
        ability to introspect exceptions to extract structured error information will be a major development
        focus. You will be in control of how much information is presented in each error, which context it's thrown from, and
        what introspection capabilities the exception object will have.
        
        The original use case for *ensure* is as an I/O validation helper for API endpoints, where the client needs to be sent a
        very clear message about what went wrong, some structured information (such as an HTTP error code and machine-readable
        reference to a failing element) may need to be added, and some information may need to be hidden from the client. To
        further improve on that, we will work on better error translation, marshalling, message formatting, and schema
        validation helpers.
