No, codecs.EncodedFile() doesn't do exactly the same.

If I understand it correctly, EncodedFile() takes a byte stream as input
and produces another bytestream (with possibly different encoding) as
output in both read and write.

My function (as well as codecs.open()) decodes a byte stream for read
and produces a unicode object or encodes a unicode object for write and
produces a byte stream.

At least, I were unable to create the same behaviour as my filewrapper()
using EncodedFile(). If you are able to do that, I'm interested in how
you do it.
