Comment (by SimonKing):

 Replying to [comment:7 cremona]:
 > I would be slightly happier if the error message did not refer to
 "`__init__`" since the user will not have typed that (probably), but
 that's a minor point.

 I don't think that the error message can be changed without patching
 Python. Theoretically, we could test in `__cinit__` that the number of
 arguments for `__init__` is correct - but I think that would be a misuse
 of `__cinit__`.
