When I run my tine code snippet, I receive the ”typeerror encoding is an invalid keyword argument for this function”error:

TypeError: 'encoding' is an invalid keyword argument for this function

Here is my code:

import numpy as np
trump = open('speeches.txt', encoding='utf8').read()
# display the data
print(trum

Can someone tell me why this error happens and the way to fix it?

    The cause: This error occurs because the open method does not have a parameter with the name encoding and you are using an argument with that name.

    Solution: You can solve the problem by using the io module. like this:

    import io

    trump = io.open('speeches.txt', encoding='utf8').read()
