Unfortunately I don't have time to go back and read the whole thread. I think I haven't used codecs.StreamReader/Writer myself, and I don't think I've seen much use of them either (which doesn't mean there isn't). My gut feeling is that yes, they should eventually go away, but no, there's no particular hurry, and no, I don't think you should change codecs.open() to call io.open(). I think the best thing is to campaign (e.g. in docs) for people to stop using codecs.open/StreamReader/Writer and start deprecating them formally once we feel that most users have switched. It's possible that that could happen before 3.3 is released, but I'm kind of doubtful about that myself. Sorry again for missing your private emails! -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
