py.test replaces AssertionError exception with its own subclass in an import hook. For some reason when top-level shortcuts were added "except AssertionError" in contracts.__init__ meant "except py.test AssertionError" while scrapy.exceptions.ContractFail was still a subclass of a builtin AssertionError, so Contracts reported errors instead of failures and this made tests in test_contracts.py fail. For now - just disable fancy py.test asserts.
