[issue23988] keyworded argument count is wrong

[Albert Zeyer]

New submission from Albert Zeyer:

Code:

class C(object):
def __init__(self, a, b=2, c=3):
pass

class D(C):
def __init__(self, d, **kwargs):
super(D, self).__init__(**kwargs)

class E(D):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
super(E, self).__init__(**kwargs)

E(d=42, b=0, c=0)

You get the funny message:

TypeError: __init__() takes at least 2 arguments (3 given)

Benjamin Peterson added the comment:

This is a well-known shortcoming of 2.x function signature errors. The 
situation is much improved in 3.x:

TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'a'
