- include:
-

- an encoding error. The default value of ``None`` has the same

-
- * ``'ignore'`` ignores errors. Note that ignoring encoding errors
- can lead to data loss.
-
- * ``'replace'`` causes a replacement marker (such as ``'?'``) to be inserted
- where there is malformed data.
-
- * ``'surrogateescape'`` will represent any incorrect bytes as low
- surrogate code units ranging from U+DC80 to U+DCFF.
- These surrogate code units will then be turned back into
- the same bytes when the ``surrogateescape`` error handler is used
- when writing data. This is useful for processing files in an
- unknown encoding.
-
- * ``'xmlcharrefreplace'`` is only supported when writing to a file.
- Characters not supported by the encoding are replaced with the
- appropriate XML character reference :samp:`&#{nnn};`.
-
- * ``'backslashreplace'`` replaces malformed data by Python's backslashed
- escape sequences.
-
- * ``'namereplace'`` (also only supported when writing)
- replaces unsupported characters with ``\N{...}`` escape sequences.
