class TextIOWrapper(_TextIOBase):

    """

    Character and line based layer over a BufferedIOBase object, buffer.

    encoding gives the name of the encoding that the stream will be

    decoded or encoded with. It defaults to locale.getpreferredencoding(False).

    errors determines the strictness of encoding and decoding (see

    help(codecs.Codec) or the documentation for codecs.register) and

    defaults to "strict".

    newline controls how line endings are handled. It can be None, '',

    '\n', '\r', and '\r\n'.  It works as follows:

    * On input, if newline is None, universal newlines mode is

      enabled. Lines in the input can end in '\n', '\r', or '\r\n', and

      these are translated into '\n' before being returned to the

      caller. If it is '', universal newline mode is enabled, but line

      endings are returned to the caller untranslated. If it has any of

      the other legal values, input lines are only terminated by the given

      string, and the line ending is returned to the caller untranslated.

    * On output, if newline is None, any '\n' characters written are

      translated to the system default line separator, os.linesep. If

      newline is '' or '\n', no translation takes place. If newline is any

      of the other legal values, any '\n' characters written are translated

      to the given string.

    If line_buffering is True, a call to flush is implied when a call to

    write contains a newline character.
