I did search for usage of these classes on the Internet, and except projects implementing their own codecs (and so implement their StreamReader/StreamWriter classes, even if they don't use it), I only found one project using directly StreamReader: pygment (*). I searched quickly, so don't trust these results :-) StreamReader & friends are used indirectly through codecs.open(). My patch changes codecs.open() to make it reuse open (io.TextIOWrapper), so the deprecation of StreamReader would not be noticed by most users. I think that there are much more users of PyCObject than users using directly the StreamReader API (not through codecs.open()). (*) I also found Sphinx, but I was wrong: it doesn't use StreamReader, it just has a full copy of the UTF-8-SIG codec which has a StreamReader class. I don't think that the class is used.
