The original problem was that using codecs.open produces a stream that will encode as it writes, but you also explicitly encoded before writing. In order for the Python 2 codec to work, it would implicitly attempt to decode the initially encoded data, in order to have something that it could properly encode again. N.B. this is not an answer; it's why the question is a duplicate.
