how to control file output encoding?

[MaTianyi]

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
how can I change the file output encoding?

Have a look a the codecs module. codecs.open() will do the job.
