[Python-ideas] Unhelpful error message from sorted

[Michael Foord]

Hello all,

It seems to me that the following error message, whilst technically
correct, is unhelpful:

>>> sorted([3, 2, 1], reverse=None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: an integer is required

Worth creating an issue for?

Michael
