Summary: type() produces incorrect error msg

Initial Comment:
type() takes 1 or 3 arguments, but the error msg is wrong:

>>> type(1)
<type 'int'>
>>> type('1', (), {})
<class '__main__.1'>
>>> type('1', ())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: type() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)
