I tried to understand what the safe_text_dupfile() function and EncodedFile class do. Outside tests, EncodedFile is only used by safe_text_dupfile, and safe_text_dupfile is only used by FDCaptureBinary.__init__(). I then started to eliminate always-true conditions based on the single call site, and in the end nothing was left.

The old code had some workarounds:

I tried to understand what the `safe_text_dupfile()` function and
`EncodedFile` class do. Outside tests, `EncodedFile` is only used by
`safe_text_dupfile`, and `safe_text_dupfile` is only used by
`FDCaptureBinary.__init__()`. I then started to eliminate always-true
conditions based on the single call site, and in the end nothing was
left.

The old code had some workarounds:

- Ensure `errors` property is set: pytest-dev#555.
  It is set now, although now it will return `replace`, which is the
  actual method used also before, instead of `strict`. AFAIU, the issue
  just wanted it to be set to something, not `strict` specifically.

- Infinite recursion trying to pickle `EncodedFile` (f7282b8).
  Not sure, I don't think this object should be pickle-able at all (and
  it isn't...).

- A bug in `logging.Handler.__repr__` with int `file.name`.
  pytest-dev#2555
  Was fixed in Python>=3.7.4: https://bugs.python.org/issue36015.
  TODO: This workaround is probably still needed?

This I think is a bug fix anyway?

Maybe fixes #6871 ?
Might make sense to pull it out then already.

But would only avoid the indirection via __getattr__, no? (with EncodedFile being used)

EMPTY_BUFFER = str() # type: ignore

res = super().snap()

Since tmpfile is now text-mode for reading also (not just for writing like the weird EncodedFile did), I switched to read directly. Also symmetric with the Sys variants which do the same.

Hmm, seems like TemporaryFiles(errors) was only added in py3.8. Will try to find a fix for that.
