[issue17339] bytes() TypeError message is misleadingly narrow

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

I think this patch is okay.

I would have suggested “Cannot construct bytes from [. . .]” to avoid the problem with “convert”, but this message is produced in places other than the constructor, e.g.

>>> int.from_bytes("str", "little")
TypeError: cannot convert unicode object to bytes
