[New-bugs-announce] [issue25788] fileinput.hook_encoded has no way to pass arguments to codecs

[Laura Creighton]

New submission from Laura Creighton:

Right now there is no way, aside from writing your own openhook, to
get around the limitation that openhook=fileinput.hook_encoded("utf")
will open things with the default option for codecs.open()
of errors=strict.  Adding a way to pass the errors argument seems
both easy to do and useful.
