Some file objects have an encoding and errors attribute.

They all have a write method.

The write method accepts unicode strings (and in python 2 bytes strings)

Depending on the implementation, calling the write method with a unicode string will result in either:

• The unicode being appropriately converted/used according to how that file object wants to deal with encodings. Note this could legitimately result in a unicode error.
• The file object completely ignoring its own encoding and using ascii instead potentially giving a unicode error.
