Summary: PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords gives misleading error message

Initial Comment:
Python 2.3.3 on Windows XP

If the user supplies one valid and one invalid keyword to 
a function that defines two required keyword arguments, 
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords will raise this 
exception:

TypeError: function takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

If, in getargs.c, vgetargskeywords, the check 
for "extraneous keywords" were done near the top of the 
function, a more meaningful exception would be thrown:

TypeError: 'bad' is an invalid keyword argument for this 
function
