I don't know. "whence" is the official name of the argument in the POSIX API: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/lseek.html Perhaps "from_what" is assumed to be more understandable by the average reader? Also, os.lseek() uses "how": https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.lseek ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37635> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
