[issue23949] Number of elements display in error message is wrong while unpacking in traceback

[Arnon Yaari]

Arnon Yaari added the comment:

I fixed the tests (that's important!) and changed the latter message to specify it is referring to the starred target (the term "starred target" appears in the docs in simple_stmts.rst). Looks like the number in that message was wrong before!
The test looked like this:

  >>> a, *b, c, d, e = 0, 1, 2
  ValueError: need more than 3 values to unpack

Need more than 3? Not exactly.

The new message looks like this:
  >>> a, *b, c, d, e = 0, 1, 2
  ValueError: not enough values to unpack into starred target (expected at least 4, got 3)
