#16518: Bring error messages in harmony with docs ("bytes-like object")
Some time ago we changed the docs to consistently use the term 'bytes-like object' in all the contexts where bytes, bytearray, memoryview, etc are used. This patch (by Ezio Melotti) completes that work by changing the error messages that previously reported that certain types did "not support the buffer interface" to instead say that a bytes-like object is required. (The glossary entry for bytes-like object references the discussion of the buffer protocol in the docs.)

The *convert_charrefs* argument of :class:`~html.parser.HTMLParser` is
|
||||
now ``True`` by default (contributed by Berker Peksag in :issue:`21047`).
|
||||
|
||||
* Although it is not formally part of the API, it is worth noting for porting
|
||||
purposes (ie: fixing tests) that error messages that were previously of the
|
||||
form "'sometype' does not support the buffer protocol" are now of the form "a
|
||||
bytes-like object is required, not 'sometype'" (contributed by Ezio Melotti

in :issue:`16518`).
