[Feature request] open(encoding='utf-8')

[Kristinita]

1. Request

It would be nice, if package_reviewer will make an error, if function open don't have encoding='utf-8'.

2. Justification

I use Cyrillic symbols. In some packages I get similar behavior.

I fix it, if I add encoding='utf-8'. Example:

with open(fSandBox, "a") as myfile:

I change to

with open(fSandBox, "a", encoding='utf-8') as myfile:

It fixed problem. I fix it in 4 Sublime Text packages:

• SendToSandbox,
• HackerTyper,
• SublimeTail,
• CodePresenter.

Maybe we have it in other Sublime Text packages, hence I think, that it would be nice, if package_reviewer review it.

3. Desirable behavior

Package developer run package_reviewer → if open function doesn't have encoding='utf-8', developer get error in terminal.

Thanks.

This can only be a warning because the actual semantics of opening a file cannot be known, but it's a possibility once I start analyzing the AST. I have a couple plans for that but don't see myself working on it any time soon.
