No, .transform() and .untransform() will be interface to same-type codecs, i.e. ones that convert bytes to bytes or str to str. As with .encode()/.decode() these helper methods also implement type safety of the return type. What about buffer compatible objects like array.array(), memoryview(), etc.? Should we use codecs.encode() / codecs.decode() for these types?

Yes, or call the encoders/decoders directly by first fetching them via codecs.lookup().
