[issue32498] urllib.parse.unquote raises incorrect errormessage when string parameter is bytes

[Tal Einat]

Tal Einat <taleinat at gmail.com> added the comment:

So urllib.parse.unquote() will accept bytes in addition to str starting with 3.9.

The unclear exception remains in prior versions. Would someone like to add a better exception for 3.7 and 3.8?

(I'm marking this as "newcomer friendly", referring only to improving the exception for 3.7 and 3.8.)
