[issue6474] Inconsistent TypeError message on function calls with wrong number of arguments

[Oleg Oshmyan]

Oleg Oshmyan <chortos at inbox.lv> added the comment:

Unfortunately it was not.

>>> Extension('myext', define_macros=[])
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: __init__() takes from 3 to 17 positional arguments but 3 were given

The issue is that the message tries to differentiate between positional and keyword arguments, while it really should differentiate between required and optional ones.
