[issue45087] Confusing error message when trying split bytes.

[Alex Zaslavskis]

''.split(',') # works as it should be 
b''.split(',') # gives strange error message.

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

The problem here is that message is saying that for fix error you should use bytes-like object that not a true. In reality the string or None is required .
