[docs] [issue33229] Documentation - io — Core tools for working with streams - seek()

[Mikhail Zakharov]

New submission from Mikhail Zakharov <zmey20000 at yahoo.com>:

Documentation for io.IOBase class and it's seek() method at https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html mentions SEEK_* constants like:

"    SEEK_SET or 0 – start of the stream (the default); offset should be zero or positive
    SEEK_CUR or 1 – current stream position; offset may be negative
    SEEK_END or 2 – end of the stream; offset is usually negative
"

It seems, they actually should be used as os.SEEK_SET, os.SEEK_CUR and os.SEEK_END.
