[Python] python write file "Encoding detection: utf_8 is most likely the one."

I have a python script that uses a REST API to get XML files from a tool. This is the heart of it:

def get_output(self, url, output_filename):
xml_response = self.client.get_request(url)
if not xml_response:
self.logger.error(f"no xml_response:{output_filename}")
return False
else:
self.logger.info(f"{output_filename}")
output_file = open(output_filename, 'w', encoding='utf-8')
output_file.write(xml_response.text)
output_file.close()
return True


The write call causes a DEBUG log entry:

Encoding detection: utf_8 is most likely the one.


Is there a way to explicitly tell the write to use utf8 in order to not get that log entry?

Thanks!
