Viktor, could you please back out this change again.

I am -1 on deprecating the StreamReader/Writer parts of the codec API
as I've mentioned numerous times and *don't* want to see these
deprecated in the code or the documentation.

I'm -0 on the change to codecs.open(). Have you checked whether the
returned objects are compatible ?

Thanks,
