I get a package from Pypi. The package has many modules using built-in open()
function. I like to redefine all the open() there with the default encoding
'utf-8', but not for code outside the package. Maybe I can put my def statement
at the beginning of every module of this package, but just wondering is there a
simple way of doing it?
I would define something like this in the __init__.py file of the
package (or in some utils.py file in the package):
def open8(path):
return open(path, encoding='utf-8')
and just:
from . import open8
and use "open8" throughout the code instead of "open"?
What not alias "open"? Because I would want it evident that in this code
we're doing a slightly special flavour of open. By using a distinct name
I avoid confusion about the unusual semantics.
