>Description:
This module is deprecated since release of Python 2.4 that has `codecs` module in it's standard library. We have no Python versions less than 2.4 in the tree, no one depends on this port, it's unmaintained, last release was 8 years ago (Nov 2003) [1] so i don't see any reasons to hold it in the tree. 

Please mark it DEPRECATED and remove in one month.
