Encoding Issue with write_file() in helpers.py

[jdong03]

Use Case

I'm unable to properly retrieve and parse the data to a new file from the UltiPro API. I get a UnicodeEncodeError when I attempt to do so.

Describe the Solution You Would Like

The method open() in write_file() in helpers.py is missing an additional argument specifying the encoding should be utf-8
Orignial
def write_file(report_stream, path):
"""Writes a stream to a file"""
f = open(path, "w")
f.write(report_stream)
f.close()
Updated
def write_file(report_stream, path):
"""Writes a stream to a file"""
f = open(path, "w", encoding='utf-8')
f.write(report_stream)
f.close()
I have verified on my local machine that making this change and setting this additional parameter fixes this issue and allows me to properly write a new file with the desired data.

Describe Alternatives You've Considered

I've attempted to override or monkey patch this method, but am having difficulty getting it to work.

Additional Context

I need this library for an AWS Lambda function so an update to the library would be necessary for functionality.
