Sorry everyone, due to technology problems I am unable to comment on the github page, and due to ISP problems I've been off the internet for a few days.

Is not "or both" redundant?
I don't think so. In regular English, "or" can imply exclusive-or:
"Shall we eat at the Thai or the Italian restaurant?"
There are four relevant cases:
- supply neither encoding nor errors; - supply only encoding; - supply only errors; - supply both encoding and errors.
Using "or" may be, for some readers, ambiguous: is the last option included or not? For the sake of two extra words, let's make it clear and unambiguous.

Use just 'utf-8' instead of sys.getdefaultencoding(). It is a constant in Python 3.
I didn't know that. I'm okay with that change, thank you.
[Serhiy]
- str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str
- str(bytes_or_buffer, encoding='utf-8', errors='strict') -> str
I'm happy with that.
Thank you everyone, and sorry again that I have trouble with the Github process. (I need a new computer with a newer OS.)
