how to control file output encoding?

the encoding of file that is output by the file.write() function is
always None.
and the encoding attribute of the File Object is readonly.

f = open('abc.txt','w')
print f.encoding
>>None
how can I change the file output encoding?

Use the `open()` function in the `codecs` module:

import codecs
f = codecs.open('abc.txt', 'w', 'utf-8')
