[issue21578] Misleading error message when ImportError called with invalid keyword args

Eric Snow report at bugs.python.org
Mon May 26 06:31:35 CEST 2014


New submission from Eric Snow:

>>> ImportError(spam='spam')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: ImportError does not take keyword arguments

However, it *does* take keyword arguments:

>>> ImportError(name='spam', path='spam')
ImportError()
