The default behavior is to overwrite any existing file; to append instead, use the 'append=True' keyword argument.
There are two differences between path.write_text() and path.write_bytes(): Unicode handling and newline handling.
--- Unicode
If 'text' isn't Unicode, this essentially just does open(self, 'w').write(text). The 'encoding' and 'errors' arguments are ignored.
If 'text' is Unicode, it is first converted to bytes using the specified 'encoding' (or the default encoding if 'encoding' isn't specified). The 'errors' argument applies only to this conversion.
--- Newlines
write_text() converts from programmer-friendly newlines (always '\n') to platform-specific newlines (see os.linesep; on Windows, for example, the end-of-line marker is '\r\n'). This applies to Unicode text the same as to 8-bit text.
Because of this conversion, the text should only contain plain newlines ('\n'), just like the return value of path.text(). If the text contains the characters '\r\n', it may be written as '\r\r\n' or '\r\r' depending on your platform.
