[issue16273] f.tell() returning negative number on Windows build

[Sijin Joseph]

Sijin Joseph added the comment:

Attaching a patch with a doc update to the tutorial, specifying that

1. The return value from f.tell is an opaque number for text files.
2. When seeking using text files the offset value needs to come from f.tell(). http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/io.html#io.TextIOBase.seek
