Wrong exception raised when using ints to initialise inappropriately. #247

Closed scott-griffiths closed 1 year ago

scott-griffiths commented 1 year ago 
>>> a = bitstring.BitArray(bin=1)
...
    return ''.join(s.split()).lower().replace('_', '')
                   ^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'split'

Not a very helpful error, and I would expect it to be a bitstring.CreationError?

Now raises a ValueError with a better message.
