I found an old thread on Python-Dev that suggested replacing the error
"TypeError: expected a character buffer object" with something more helpful
for non-experts like "expected a string or character buffer". Here's the
thread: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-May/065301.html

I think this is an excellent idea, but besides this ticket:
http://bugs.python.org/issue6780
I haven't seen anything further about it. Does anyone know the status on
this? It would be nice to have a more descriptive error.
