[issue8796] Deprecate codecs.open()

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti added the comment:

I suggest to deprecated codecs.open() in 3.4, and possibly remove it in a later release.  The implementation shouldn't be changed to use the builtin open(), but the deprecation note should point to it, and possibly mention the shortcomings of codecs.open().
