Bug#833363: python-debian: please improve message when passing incorrect type to iter_paragraphs

[Chris Lamb]

Source: python-debian
Version: 0.1.28
Tags: patch
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

The attached patch replaces:

 TypeError: bytes or unicode/string required

with:

 TypeError: bytes or unicode/string required, not <class 'int'>

.. which is a little more useful for developers - they are almost
certainly going to do the same thing manually when debugging. :)


Regards,
