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])

This also bugs me, and the same problem exists in other parts of the documentation. Perhaps you might be interested in Issue 23738 and whether changing to the new notation used by PEP 457, pydoc, help(), Argument Clinic is any good:
seek(offset, whence=SEEK_SET, /)
But in the mean time, I think the proposed patch is okay, and would certainly benefit the Python 2 documetation where using the new PEP 457 slash indicator is less likely to be appropriate.

Thanks for your comment.
I had a read of pep457. It's still in draft status, so incorporating
the / indicator is not much a concern AFAIK.
Any further modification for me to do to get that merged?

I will try to commit your patch today when I up to it.
Maybe the "draft" status of that PEP is out of date. The slash (/) indicator is already being used in some places in pydoc, e.g.
$ pydoc object.__eq__
Help on wrapper_descriptor in object:
object.__eq__ = __eq__(self, value, /)
 Return self==value.

Thanks for the patch. I took the liberty of also fixing the doc string of BytesIO.seek().
