[issue46637] Incorrect error message: "missing 1 required positional argument"

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

Given this current behavior:

>>> def foo(a, /, b): pass
...
>>> foo()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: foo() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'a' and 'b'

What would you suggest?

I agree the current messages aren't perfect.
