[PyPy-issue] [issue402] codecs are broken in pypy-c

[Amaury Forgeot d Arc]

Since PyPy does not use the streamreader to decode source files, yes, your codec should be changed and implement 
its hacks in the "decode" method, which could look like:

def decode(text, *args):
    utf8=encodings.search_function('utf8')
    decoded, consumed = utf8.decode(text, *args)
    decoded = decoded.replace('myprint ', 'print ')
    return decoded, consumed

The alternative is to fix PyPy of course.
