[issue6300] encode and decode should accept 'errors' as a keyword argument

[Jeff Bradberry]

Jeff Bradberry <jeff.bradberry at gmail.com> added the comment:

Before:

~/python2.7$ ./python -mtimeit "u'Andr\202 x'.encode('ascii', 'replace')"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.8 usec per loop

After:

~/python2.7-patched$ ./python -mtimeit "u'Andr\202 x'.encode('ascii',
'replace')"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.73 usec per loop


The difference in performance seems to be trivial, perhaps favoring the
patched version slightly.
