[issue34955] passing a dict to bytes() gives unhelpful error message

[Eric V. Smith]

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

You can in fact pass a dict to bytes(), as long as the keys are ints in the correct range:

>>> bytes({0:10, 1:20})
b'\x00\x01'

I'm not claiming it's very useful, but it does conform to the docs. I'm not sure the error message can be improved, so I suggest closing this issue.
