I am currently having a look at http://bugs.python.org/issue1460 .
It's a problem in the utf-7 decoder (there is no such function
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF7Stateful), but I was surprised to see that
codec.StreamReader duplicates a lot of code already present in io.py:
an underlying binary stream, a decoder, a buffer (of 72 chars), some
code to handle \r\n and so on.

I wonder if it is possible to remove this class: are there differences
between codec.StreamReader and io.TextIOWrapper ?
