[New-bugs-announce] [issue4510] ValueError for list.remove() not very helpful

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

If you try to remove something from a list, e.g. ``[].remove(1)``, the
message from ValueError is rather useless: "ValueError: list.remove(x):
x not in list". It should probably list the repr for the argument to
help in debugging.
