Summary: unpack TypeError unclear

Initial Comment:
I liked the error message in Python 2.1 better than the
2.2 error message for cases like this one:
    a, b = 1

It uses to say unpack non-sequence.  Not is says iter()
of non-sequence.  Since the iter() call is hidden, I'd
prefer to see it's specific error message hidden, too.
 To the user, it's just an error unpacking a sequeunce.
