I looked at this briefly. It's a rather strange error message, given that in
fact only two arguments are given.
I ran a little test sequence to verify:
>>> data = u'abcd'
>>> data.encode('utf8', 'xmlcharrefreplace')
'abcd'
>>> data.encode('utf8', 'xmlcharrefreplace', 1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: encode() takes at most 2 arguments (3 given)
>>> isinstance(data, unicode)
True
