[issue3524] IOError when attempting negative seek in file (Python 3.0 tutorial)

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl <georg at python.org> added the comment:

Since the file is a text file, such seeking is not possible.

I've now updated the whole section about files; in particular there was
also an outdated description of text vs. binary mode.

Committed r65595.

----------
resolution:  -> fixed
status: open -> closed
