Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I think using codecs.open() with a non-text codecs is a legit use case, but is not the best way. I suggest:
1) Encourage of using io.open() rather than codecs.open() for text encodings. codecs.open() was recommended way since it worked in all Python versions, including <2.6, but now we can ignore this advantage. 2) Discourage of using non-text codecs. 3) Deprecate codecs.open() (may be after EOL for Python 2.7). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29783> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
