Just as reminder: we have the general purpose encode()/decode() functions in the codecs module:
import codecs r13 = codecs.encode('hello world', 'rot-13') These interface directly to the codec interfaces, without enforcing type restrictions. The codec defines the supported input and output types.
As an implementation mechanism I see nothing wrong with this. I hope the codecs module lets you introspect the input and output types of a codec given by name?
