New submission from Julien Férard <[email protected]>:
When passing no argument to `range`, the error message states that (exactly)
one argument is expected.
Actual:
Python 3.9.0a0 (heads/master:d395209653, Jan 3 2020, 11:37:03)
[GCC 7.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> range()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: range expected 1 argument, got 0
Expected message:
TypeError: range expected at least 1 argument, got 0
(See for instance:
>>> eval()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: eval expected at least 1 argument, got 0
)
