New submission from John Hagen:

The function signature and description for zipfile.writestr is incorrect:

https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/zipfile.html#zipfile.ZipFile.writestr

See:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/zipfile.py#L1610

The documentation calls the parameter 'bytes', but the real parameter name is 
'data'.

Looks like this was not fixed when the source changed to Python 3:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Lib/zipfile.py#L1208
