What does this code do?

The code is attempting to write some text data from an HTTP response (retrieved using _response.text) into a file represented by _file. However, it encounters a problem during this process.

What is happening in the code?

1. _response.text contains a string with Unicode characters that are not supported by the default encoding used by the open function while the file is opened for writing.
2. By default, Python on Windows uses the cp1252 encoding when writing to files.
3. The specific Unicode characters at positions 50391-50392 in _response.text cannot be mapped to the cp1252 character set (i.e., they are not valid for this encoding).
4. As a result, a UnicodeEncodeError is raised during the encode operation while writing the text to the file.

What needs fixing?

To handle this issue, ensure that the file is opened using an encoding that supports all the characters in _response.text. For example, you can use UTF-8 encoding, which supports all Unicode characters. This can be done by modifying how the file is opened, like so:

with open("output_file.txt", "w", encoding="utf-8") as _file:
    _file.write(_response.text)

This change ensures that the file will handle all Unicode characters correctly, avoiding the UnicodeEncodeError.
