When passing an incorrect keyword argument to a model constructor, the
__init__ method will throw an error like this:
{{{
TypeError: 'x' is an invalid keyword argument for this function
}}}
It takes a couple of seconds to notice what "this function" refers to,
especially if the call is behind some abstraction like factory_boy. You
have to scroll several levels up the stack trace to notice the offender. I
propose to change this message to:
{{{
TypeError: 'x' is an invalid keyword argument for ModelName
}}}
I can submit a pull request once the ticket is accepted.
