I'm not sure if this warrants a separate issue, but I also notice this in the
documentation:

But in reality this seems to raise a FileNotFoundError:
>>> import pkgutil
>>> data = pkgutil.get_data('dateutil.zoneinfo', 'dateutil-zoneinfo.tar.gz')
>>> len(data)
139671
>>> data = pkgutil.get_data('dateutil.zoneinfo', 'foo-bar.tar.gz')
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/dateutil/zoneinfo/foo-bar.tar.gz'
Am I misunderstanding the documentation, or should the failure mode be
corrected to specify that it raises an error?
