I cannot see how I implement decode() for bytes objects using the C API for PyCXX library,

I'd assuming that I should find a PyBytesDecode function but cannot find it in beta 2. What is the preferred way to do this? PyObjectCallMethod(bytesobj, "decode", "") PyUnicodeFromEncodedObject takes an encoding argument.

There is also PyCodec_Decode() but it does not seem to be documented, nor is any function declared in codecs.h. Is it part of the public API?
