multiprocessing uses a lot of `assert` statements all over the code. I
propose to change this way to a more readable and understandable. For
example:
Lib/multiprocessing/managers.py, line 136:
assert isinstance(authkey, bytes)
From my point of view, raising an AssertionError is not enough in this
case. I propose changing this one to more intuitive:
if not isinstance(authkey, bytes):
 raise TypeError("'authkey' argument should be an instance of 'bytes'")
(Well, maybe message could be more descriptive. :) )
And this goes for all of the multiprocessing code base.
Should I consider writing a patch for this?

I am going to track this as part of issue 5001
