import io
import urllib.request

f_bytes = urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.python.org/")
f_string = io.TextIOWrapper(f_bytes, "iso-8859-1")
print(f_string.read())

Fixed in r70928.

Nope, this is not yet fixed.

urllib.response.addinfourl doesn't seem to implement the required ABC
(BufferedIOBase) properly. It misses the read1() method. Also, it claims
not to be readable:

>>> f_bytes = urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.python.org/")
>>> f_bytes.readable()
False

I just wanted to mention that the current head of py3k returns an
http.client.HTTPResponse and not a urllib.respone.addinfourl.  That
doesn't mean it is the right thing to pass to TextIOWrapper.  It's an
instance of RawIOBase.

I guess, you meant " That doesn't mean it is *not* the right thing to
pass to TextIOWrapper".

With the changes r70935, this works.

Please note that passing a instance of RawIOBase (as HTTPResponse) is
to TextIOWrapper is *not* supported. You must first wrap the raw IO in
a BufferIOBase instance.

I suppose it is fixed, isn't it?
