In the Library Reference 3.6.1 String Method, the description of
startswith is confused with endswith.  It says:
  prefix can also be a tuple of suffixes to look for.
Here, "suffixes" means "prefixes".

Note: This part is new for 2.5.

This is already fixed in SVN and will be live with the next docs update.
Thanks for reporting!
