TypeError: 'encoding' is an invalid keyword argument for this function
Question: My python program has trouble opening a text file. When I use the basic open
file for read, I get an ascii error. Someone helped me out by having me add an
encoding parameter that works well in Idle, but when I run the program through
terminal, I get this error message: "TypeError: 'encoding' is an invalid
keyword argument for this function" How can I read this text file in to use
it's data?

Answer: The terminal you are trying to run this on probably uses Python 2.x as
standard.

Try using the command "Python3" specifically in the terminal:

`$ Python3 yourfile.py`

(Tested and confirmed that 2.7 will give that error and that Python3 handles
it just fine.)
