DOC: create_array() got an unexpected keyword argument 'mode' #4016
Description
Describe the issue linked to the documentation
The Persistent Storage section of the Getting Started chapter reads:
import s3fs
z = zarr.create_array("s3://example-bucket/foo", mode="w", shape=(100, 100), chunks=(10, 10), dtype="f4")
z[:, :] = np.random.random((100, 100))
But mode="w" gives an "unexpected keyword" RuntimeError.
$ pixi list zarr
