+    /* SEEK_SET and SEEK_CUR are special because we could seek inside the
+       buffer. Other whence values must be managed without this optimization.
+       Some Operating Systems can provide additional values, like
+       SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA. */
+    if (((whence == 0) || (whence == 1)) && self->readable) {

Why not using SEEK_SET and SEEK_CUR instead of 0 and 1 here?

+      .. versionadded:: 3.2

This is now outdated, it should be 3.3.
