New submission from Daan Bakker:

The documentation for pbkdf2_hmac at 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/hashlib.html uses the "rounds" keyword:

hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac(name, password, salt, rounds, dklen=None)

However, the actual source code uses "iterations". No-one has probably noticed 
it before because no error is raised if the number of iterations is given as a 
positional argument.
