[issue45087] Confusing error message when trying split bytes.

[Eric V. Smith]

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

You said: 
"""
b''.split(',') # gives strange error message.

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

It is not a strange error message. You passed in a str (the ','), and you should have passed in bytes.
