Python's own io module uses "writable" (e.g. IOBase.writable()), and the codebase overwhelmingly prefers this spelling (33 vs 11 in docs, 55 vs 3 in source). Standardize the remaining "writeable" instances in library documentation to match. Affected files: io.rst, marshal.rst, subprocess.rst, ssl.rst, ctypes.rst, functions.rst, zipfile.rst Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Both spellings are correct, this is churn.
