[issue24159] Misleading TypeError when pickling bytes to a file opened as text

[Борис Верховский]

Борис Верховский <boris.verk at gmail.com> added the comment:

As I said in issue38226, the error message you get when you try to pickle.load() a file opened in "r" mode instead of "rb" mode,

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 0: invalid start byte

is also confusing and can be improved.
