[issue7963] Misleading error message from object(arg)

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl <georg at python.org> added the comment:

The latter is no inconsistency; tuples are immutable, lists are not.  Therefore, for lists, __init__ is the initializer, not __new__.  In order not to duplicate argument checking, __new__ does nothing special with them.
