Test that no exceptions were raised

I'm currently using the following, which Is fine, but I was curious if Ward had something that replaces this pattern:

try:
    function()
    assert True
except:
    assert False

A test passes if it doesn't fail, so just

function()

should be sufficient. If an exception was raised during function(), the test would fail automatically.

Ah yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I guess I'm just not used to seeing an assertion-less test, but since assert just raises an AssertionError in the failing case, and any assertion raised is what causes the test to fail within the testing framework, then just calling the function bare would be the thing to do. Ok, thanks, I'll go ahead and close this one out.
