I would love for you to start working on this. Let me know off-line if you need more guidance (but CC Daniel and Mike so they know what's going on).

Great! I'll start off by working up a patch that implements any easy
missing stuff from http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfksfvqd_1cn5g5m
(aiming for simplicity and reasonable but not extreme efficiency)
along with more unit tests. I'll also have a go at a BufferedReader
method to support a reasonably efficient TextIOWrapper.readline().

Hopefully I'll have something in the next week or so. Daniel and
Mike - please let me know if I'm overlapping with anything you're
working on - I don't want to tread on anyone's toes.
