New submission from shiyao.ma:

The doc is here: https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/io.html#io.IOBase.seek
and here: https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/io.html#io.TextIOBase.seek

It is said the parameter list is in the form of:
seek(offset, whence=SEEK_SET)

But actually only:
seek(offset) or seek(offset, whence) is allowed.

Passing seek(offset, whence=SEEK_FOOBAR) will throw an error.

The patch fixes the function signature as seek(offset[, whence])
