[issue29783] Modify codecs.open() to use the io module instead of codecs.StreamReaderWriter()

Martin Panter added the comment: I agree that it would be better to hold off deprecating codecs.open until Python 2 is no longer supported. This deprecation also discussed in Issue 8796. There is more to compatability than the missing attributes. The most obvious one to me is that the TextIOBa

[issue29783] Modify codecs.open() to use the io module instead of codecs.StreamReaderWriter()

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

STINNER Victor added the comment: > codecs.open() works with bytes-to-bytes codecs. Oh ok. What are non-text encodings? I found: * base64 * bz2 * hex * quopri * rot13 * uu * zlib It seems like all these codecs can be used with codecs.open() to write bytes strings, except of rot13. Last time

New submission from STINNER Victor: The codecs.StreamReaderWriter() class still has old unfixed issues like the issue #12508 (open since 2011). This issue is even seen as a security vulnerability by the owasp-pysec project: https://github.com/ebranca/owasp-pysec/wiki/Unicode-string-silently-tru
