[issue18291] codecs.open interprets space as line ends

[Paul]

Paul added the comment:

You're absolutely right. I tested it on another machine now, with Python 2.7.3 installed and it is actually twice as fast as codecs. Thanks.

So I guess there is little interest in fixing codecs because io is the preferred package for reading unicode files.
