New submission from PEW's Corner <pewscor...@gmail.com>:

The online Python 3 documentation for bytes.rpartition and bytearray.rpartition 
(https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes.rpartition) incorrectly 
states:

"If the separator is not found, return a 3-tuple containing a copy of the 
original sequence, followed by two empty bytes or bytearray objects."

This seems to have been copied without modification from bytes.partition where 
the statement is correct. The statement for rpartition should be:

"If the separator is not found, return a 3-tuple containing two empty bytes or 
bytearray objects, followed by a copy of the original sequence."
