Thanks for the patch.  I commented on not-so-important things on the code review site (which should have sent an email to Tatiana) and wanted to raise an issue here.

Is it best that the encoding used defaults to Python’s default encoding (UTF-8) or the I/O default encoding (depends on the OS and locale), like what open does?
