Alexander Belopolsky <alexander.belopol...@gmail.com> added the comment:

*file* is correct because shutil.which() is more general than shell which 
command.  (It can be used to find source files on PYTHONPATH, for example.)

I think the confusing part is "return the path ... on the path."  This can be 
fixed in reST by marking the second "path" as the argument, but the docstring 
should be rephrased.  Note that reST documentation for shutil.which() is 
missing in Doc/library/shutil.rst.
