Here's a little fun codec to play with. It encodes the input using the ROT13 encoding (which is 1-1 and idempotent). The main difference over the existing codecs is that it returns a string rather than Unicode.

To install it, simply place it in some directory on your Python path.

Here's some sample output (Netscape can unscramble this BTW):

""" Urer'f n yvggyr sha pbqrp gb cynl jvgu. Vg rapbqrf gur vachg hfvat gur EBG13 rapbqvat (juvpu vf 1-1 naq vqrzcbgrag). Gur znva qvssrerapr bire gur rkvfgvat pbqrpf vf gung vg ergheaf n fgevat engure guna Havpbqr.
