792 Files are always opened in binary mode, even if no binary mode
793 was specified. This is done to avoid data loss due to encodings
794 using 8-bit values. The default file mode is 'rb' meaning to
795 open the file in binary read mode.
797 encoding specifies the encoding which is to be used for the
798 file.
800 errors may be given to define the error handling. It defaults
801 to 'strict' which causes ValueErrors to be raised in case an
802 encoding error occurs.
804 buffering has the same meaning as for the builtin open() API.
805 It defaults to line buffered.
807 The returned wrapped file object provides an extra attribute
808 .encoding which allows querying the used encoding. This
809 attribute is only available if an encoding was specified as
810 parameter.
