def __init__(self, destination=None, destination_path=None, encoding=None, error_handler='strict', autoclose=True, handle_io_errors=None, mode=None): (source) ¶

overrides docutils.io.Output.__init__

Parameters
destination	either a file-like object (which is written directly) or `None` (which implies `sys.stdout` if no `destination_path` given).
destination_path	a path to a file, which is opened and then written.
encoding	the text encoding of the output file.
error_handler	the encoding error handler to use.
autoclose	close automatically after write (except when `sys.stdout` or `sys.stderr` is the destination).
handle_io_errors	ignored, deprecated, will be removed.
mode	how the file is to be opened (see standard function `open`). The default is 'w', providing universal newline support for text files.
