For a couple of sequences (bytes, list, tuple, bytearray), the error when using an invalid sequence index is misleading, because it says that only integers are allowed, while slices are allowed too.
>>> a = []
>>> a['python']
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str
>>>
For instance, here's how range does it:
>>> range(1)['a']
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: range indices must be integers or slices, not str
The attached patch improves these error messages.
