I took the liberty to open this issue to fix the rest of the affected types. From my understanding of Pablo's and Serhiy's comments in the issue, it was desired that all of the affected types should be fixed, and regression tests added if possible. |

If it would expect, the constructor would expect an argument:
| tp = type(iter(array.array('I'))) | |
| self.assertRaises(TypeError, tp) | |
| my_array = array.array('I') | |
| arrayiterator = type(iter(my_array)) | |
| self.assertRaises(TypeError, arrayiterator, my_array) |

Hm, I don't think so.
$ python3.10
>>> import array
>>> tp = type(iter(array.array('I')))
>>> tp()
<array.arrayiterator object at 0x10f934140>
>>> tp([])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: array.arrayiterator() takes no arguments

Ditto for the similar suggestions.

On what do you want to iterate if there is no argument?
Obviously, today, it takes no argument... because the type doesn't implement tp_new nor tp_init ;-)

Does it really have anything to say? We hit the right exception anyway, AFAICS.

My concern can be addressed later by adding an helper function which checks the error message.

I insist on this issue because test_sys had a test which still passed when I modified sys.flags type to allow instantiation. I had to fix the test: 3bb0994

Ah, I got it now. I misunderstood you first. Yes, that makes sense. We'll fix it when we've got a helper in place.

I also guess that the constructor would expect an argument:
self.assertRaises(TypeError, type(panel), w)

| self.g = gdbm.open(filename, 'c') | ||
