[New-bugs-announce] [issue14586] TypeError: truncate() takes no keyword arguments

[Guy Taylor]

New submission from Guy Taylor <thebigguy.co.uk at gmail.com>:

The Python docs suggest that io.IOBase.truncate' should take a keyword argument of 'size'.
However this causes a 'TypeError':
  TypeError: truncate() takes no keyword arguments

Suggest that the docs are changed to 'truncate(size)' or CPython is changed to allow the keyword.
