Summary: Wrong error message for file.write(a, b)

Initial Comment:
Passing too many arguments to a file's write() method 
produces an error message that complains about paasing 
a tuple rather than more accurately complaining about 
too many arguments:

TypeError: argument must be string or read-only 
character buffer, not tuple

Michael, the patch looks good, you can apply it yourself.

(How did you manage to get the patch space-filled where the
source code has only tabs?)

I think this is easy.

Can someone have a look at the attached patch while make
test is running?
