bpo-37635: Update arg name for seek() in IO tutorial (GH-16147)
...
Typically, the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is *whence*. That is the POSIX standard name (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/lseek.3p.html ) and the name listed in the documentation for ``io`` module (https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase.seek ).
The tutorial for IO is the only location where the second positional argument for ``seek()`` is referred to as *from_what*. I suspect this was created at an early point in Python's history, and was never updated (as this section predates the GitHub repository):
```
$ git grep "from_what"
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:To change the file object's position, use ``f.seek(offset, from_what)``. The position is computed
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the *from_what* argument. A *from_what* value of 0 measures from the beginning
Doc/tutorial/inputoutput.rst:the reference point. *from_what* can be omitted and defaults to 0, using the
```
For consistency, I am suggesting that the tutorial be updated to use the same argument name as the IO documentation and POSIX standard for ``seek()``, particularly since this is the only location where *from_what* is being used.
Note: In the POSIX standard, *whence* is technically the third positional argument, but the first argument *fildes* (file descriptor) is implicit in Python.

A couple of fixes here to make this more PEP-8:
* Avoid multiple statements on one line with `;` statement separator -- this is very rare in Python and is "generally discouraged" in PEP 8 (and if used, per PEP 8 there shouldn't be a space before the `;`)
* Add output for the first "Formatted String Literals" example. (Side note: are the doctests for this being run? If so, why didn't it fail?)
* Avoid space before `!r`. I have generally not seen spaces before the `!`, and this also matches the style used in the docs here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-string-syntax
