Why are assertions logged to sentries when DEBUG = True?

I am in the middle of deploying a clock device to handle django error messages. I have configured django options LOGGING

for registration only DEBUG = False

with 'filters': ['require_debug_false']

.

If I manually log the error in the django view like in the following example, it is successfully filtered and therefore not sent to the sentry:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)


def view_name(request):
    logger.error('An error message')
    ...

      

        
        
        
      

    

However, if I use an operator assert

like in the following example, it is not filtered and sent to the hourly:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)


def view_name(request):
    assert False, 'An error message'
    ...

      

        
        
        
      

    

It is also worth noting that the statement is assert

not sent to the handler mail_admins

, which also uses the same filter.

Can someone please help me to prevent errors assert

from starting to send to chat, yet DEBUG = True

?

Here are the versions of the packages I am using:

Django==1.6.7
raven==5.1.1

      

        
        
        
      

    

And here are the relevant parts of my .py settings:

DEBUG = True
LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': True,
    'filters': {
        'require_debug_false': {
            '()': 'django.utils.log.RequireDebugFalse'
        }
    },
    'formatters': {
        'simple': {
            'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(message)s'
        },
    },
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'level': 'WARNING',
            'filters': ['require_debug_false'],
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'formatter': 'simple'
        },
        'mail_admins': {
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'filters': ['require_debug_false'],
            'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler',
            'include_html': True,
        },
        'sentry': {
            'level': 'WARNING',
            'filters': ['require_debug_false'],
            'class': 'raven.contrib.django.raven_compat.handlers.SentryHandler',
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        '': {
            'handlers': ['console', 'mail_admins', 'sentry'],
            'level': 'WARNING',
            'propagate': False,
        },
    },
}
