[New-bugs-announce] [issue6586] Documentation of os.write and os.read are inaccurate.

[Chris Liechti]

New submission from Chris Liechti <cliechti at users.sourceforge.net>:

Documentation of os.write and os.read are inaccurate, it states that the
methods work with 'str' (or strings), which is wrong.

- os.write expects an instance of bytes or buffer
- os.read returns an instance of bytes

The implementation is OK, it fits well with the new io library but the
docs don't describe the implementation.
