I want to write a string to an already-open file (sys.stdout, typically).
However, I *don't* want encoding errors, and the string could be arbitrary
Unicode (in theory). The best way I've found is
data = data.encode(file.encoding, errors='replace').decode(file.encoding)
file.write(data)
(I'd probably use backslashreplace rather than replace, but that's a minor
point).
Is that the best way? The multiple re-encoding dance seems a bit clumsy, but it
was the best I could think of.
Thanks,
Paul.
