The function signature and description for zipfile.writestr is incorrect: https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/zipfile.html#zipfile.ZipFile.writestr See: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/zipfile.py#L1610 The documentation calls the parameter 'bytes', but the real parameter name is 'data'. Looks like this was not fixed when the source changed to Python 3: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Lib/zipfile.py#L1208
