Programmers often stumble over UnicodeDecode/EncodeError during open(), and especially beginners don't know what to do. There are lots of questions on Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16528468/while-reading-file-on-python-i-got-a-unicodedecodeerror-what-can-i-do-to-resol https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38186847/python-line-replace-returns-unicodeencodeerror https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3224268/python-unicode-encode-error https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50331257/python3-unicodeencodingerror https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24717808/python-cant-write-to-file-unicodeencodeerror ...... Maybe a helpful tip can be added to the error message. We have done this before: >>> (1,)(2, 3) <stdin>:1: SyntaxWarning: 'tuple' object is not callable; perhaps you missed a comma? >>> print 3 File "<stdin>", line 1 print 3 ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(3)?
