[New-bugs-announce] [issue37086] time.sleep error message misleading

[Justin Fay]

New submission from Justin Fay <johnplayerblue at gmail.com>:

Using python3.6 and calling `time.sleep` with an invalid argument the `TypeError` raised has the error message "TypeError: an integer is required". This is not the case as a float or integer is acceptable. Using python 2.7 the error message given is better "TypeError: a float is required".
