Aside from the fact that this wouldn't work, it won't work :) By the
time you see argv, the -O option has been eaten. But why stop at that?

def assertions_working():
    try:
        assert False
    except AssertionError:
        return True
    return False

assert assertions_working()  # refuse to run in -O mode

Can't imagine why that wouldn't work......
