[issue19768] Not so correct error message when giving incorrect type to maxlen in deque

[Claudiu Popa]

Claudiu Popa added the comment:

I believe that returning a TypeError instead of a ValueError is better in this situation. Technically, passing 'a' as maxlen makes that value inappropiate, thus the use of TypeError. It will also be backward compatible. Also, your patch needs test updates.
