[issue8796] Deprecate codecs.open()

STINNER Victor added the comment: I proposed this idea multiple times, but it's backward incompatible and more generally seen as a bad issue, since there are very specific use cases for codecs.open(). So I just close the issue. -- resolution: -> rejected stage: needs patch ->

Ezio Melotti added the comment: I suggest to deprecated codecs.open() in 3.4, and possibly remove it in a later release. The implementation shouldn't be changed to use the builtin open(), but the deprecation note should point to it, and possibly mention the shortcomings of codecs.open().

Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment: If there are use cases of Stream{Reader,Writer} which are not covered by TextIOWrapper, it would be nice to know so that we can improve TextIOWrapper. After all, there should be one obvious way to do it ;) By the way, something interesting
