errors='ignore' option with open file

[AllanWTham]

Hi there,

In this code, createcaslibjson.py, there are few entries with the errors='ignore' option with the file open:

with open(jsonfile, mode = "r", errors='ignore') as file:

Is there a way to add in a check because most customers are still running Python 2.7.5 which doesn't support this option.

@tomstarr Can you take a look at this and the others that relate to createcaslbjson.

Hi Allan, a version check and notice/warning message is something I'd be happy to look into when I return from leave.
In the meantime, perhaps it'd be worth encouraging your customers to update their Python deployments, particularly since Python 2.7.5 went out-of-support/EOL on 01JAN2020
