http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=208549 Thank you! Now I have something to show to interested people except "read the PEPs". A minuscule nit: the rot13 codec has no library equivalent, so it won't be supported anymore :)

Given that there are valid use cases for bytes-to-bytes translations, and a common API for them would be nice, does it make sense to have an additional category of codec that is invoked via specific recoding methods on bytes objects? For example:

encoded = data.encode_bytes('bz2') decoded = encoded.decode_bytes('bz2') assert data == decoded

Cheers, Nick.
