Why not using str type for str and str subtypes, and bytes type for bytes and bytes-like object (bytearray, memoryview)? I don't think that we need an ABC here.
We'd only need an ABC if info was added for supported input types. However, that's not necessary since "encodes_to" and "decodes_to" are enough to identify Unicode encodings: "encodes_to in (None, bytes) and decodes_to in (None, str)", so we don't need to track input type support at all if the main question we want to answer is "is this a Unicode codec or not?".
Cheers, Nick.
