R. David Murray added the comment:
See issue 7963 for a clue to why you get this message. That is, it is
object.__new__ that is getting called, not object.__init__, and __new__ methods
result in different error messages than __init__ methods. I don't know if
there is a practical way to make it better. For example you also have this:
>>> a = A('abc', 'xyz')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: decoding str is not supported
>>> a = A('abc', 2, 3, 54)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: str() takes at most 3 arguments (4 given)
