    encoding gives the name of the encoding that the stream will be
    decoded or encoded with. It defaults to locale.getpreferredencoding(False).
    
    errors determines the strictness of encoding and decoding (see
    help(codecs.Codec) or the documentation for codecs.register) and
    defaults to "strict".
    
    newline controls how line endings are handled. It can be None, ‘‘,
    ‘\n‘, ‘\r‘, and ‘\r\n‘.  It works as follows:
    
    * On input, if newline is None, universal newlines mode is
      enabled. Lines in the input can end in ‘\n‘, ‘\r‘, or ‘\r\n‘, and
      these are translated into ‘\n‘ before being returned to the
      caller. If it is ‘‘, universal newline mode is enabled, but line
      endings are returned to the caller untranslated. If it has any of
      the other legal values, input lines are only terminated by the given
      string, and the line ending is returned to the caller untranslated.
    
    * On output, if newline is None, any ‘\n‘ characters written are
      translated to the system default line separator, os.linesep. If
      newline is ‘‘ or ‘\n‘, no translation takes place. If newline is any
      of the other legal values, any ‘\n‘ characters written are translated
      to the given string.
    
    If line_buffering is True, a call to flush is implied when a call to
    write contains a newline character.
