Nick Coghlan pointed out that a lot of this discussion has already happened for the function signature object PEP [1].  That PEP defines constants

    Parameter.POSITIONAL_ONLY
    Parameter.POSITIONAL_OR_KEYWORD
    Parameter.KEYWORD_ONLY
    Parameter.VAR_POSITIONAL
    Parameter.VAR_KEYWORD

So the 'positional' in the TypeError messages corresponds to POSITIONAL_OR_KEYWORD.
