New submission from Jonathan Fine <jfine2...@gmail.com>:

On Linux
>>> help(open('/dev/zero').writelines)
gives
<built-in method writelines of _io.TextIOWrapper object at 0x7fed03d4e558>

However
https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase.writelines
gives

Write a list of lines to the stream. Line separators are not added, so it is 
usual for each of the lines provided to have a line separator at the end.

See also request that writelines support a line separator.
