Hi doc-team, On http://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html under codecs.register, I see the description: <quote> streamreader and streamwriter: These have to be factory functions providing the following interface: factory(stream, errors='strict') The factory functions must return objects providing the interfaces defined by the base classes StreamWriter and StreamReader, respectively. </quote> and am instantly suspicious: apparently, streamreader should have the interface of StreamWriter and streamwrite that of StreamReader. This is either a doc bug or a horribly bad choice of names for the .register() function's parameters ! Eddy.
