Python 3 writing to_csv file ignores encoding argument. #13068
Description
# is missing the UTF8 BOM (encoded with default encoding UTF8)
with open('path_to_f', 'w') as f:
df.to_csv(f, encoding='utf-8-sig')
# is not missing the UTF8 BOM (encoded with passed encoding utf-8-sig)
df.to_csv('path_to_f', encoding='utf-8-sig')I expect:
with open('path_to_f', 'w') as f:
df.to_csv(f, encoding='utf-8-sig')To crash with TypeError: write() argument must be str, not bytes
and I expect:
with open('path_to_f', 'wb') as f:
df.to_csv(f, encoding='utf-8-sig')To write the file correctly.
