I'm not sure that I understood. Do you consider that using codecs.open() with a non-text codecs is a "legit" use case or not? I understood that you suggest a smoother transition using a deprecation to give more time to developers to update their code. But what do you want to deprecate? The whole codecs.open() function? Or using non-text codecs with codecs.open()? Or using text codecs with codecs.open()? ---------- _______________________________________ 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
