[docs] [issue12642] Python2 documentation of the open() built-in function

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

The docs are correct in Python3.

The docs for Python2 are not *wrong*, since they indicate only positional parameters and if you use positional parameters it works as documented. (I'm surprised that using keyword arguments works, but I haven't looked at the code.)  Fixing the names in the 2.7 docs would still be helpful (2.6 docs don't get updated any more).
