[issue27157] Unhelpful error message when one calls a subclass of type with a custom metaclass

[ppperry]

ppperry added the comment:

This issue only happens when the type in question has a custom metaclass:

>>> class meta(type):pass
>>> class X(type,metaclass=meta):pass
>>> X(X)
[Same unhelpful TypeError]

resolution: works for me ->
