However, to provide readable output for errors in even simple tests (like a == b) py.test does magic with stack frames and code objects - in order to discover the objects being compared.

Maybe what we need to do then is make the assert statement more powerful. I like the idea of having it call a builtin called assert which is called by the assert statement. The AST for the node could be attached.
