-     an encoding error.  The default value of ``None`` has the same
-     effect.
-
-   * ``'ignore'`` ignores errors.  Note that ignoring encoding errors
-     can lead to data loss.
-
-   * ``'replace'`` causes a replacement marker (such as ``'?'``) to be inserted
-     where there is malformed data.
-
-   * ``'surrogateescape'`` will represent any incorrect bytes as low
-     surrogate code units ranging from U+DC80 to U+DCFF.
-     These surrogate code units will then be turned back into
-     the same bytes when the ``surrogateescape`` error handler is used
-     when writing data.  This is useful for processing files in an
-     unknown encoding.
-
-   * ``'xmlcharrefreplace'`` is only supported when writing to a file.
-     Characters not supported by the encoding are replaced with the
-     appropriate XML character reference :samp:`&#{nnn};`.
-
-   * ``'backslashreplace'`` replaces malformed data by Python's backslashed
-     escape sequences.
-
-   * ``'namereplace'`` (also only supported when writing)
-     replaces unsupported characters with ``\N{...}`` escape sequences.
