In summary, I'd just like to see the following happen:

Will this get use the hex, base64 etc. "codecs" back? If yes, great!
I suppose so :-)
Those would work only work on bytes, though, so to convert
the result into text, you'd have to do:
text = bytes.encodebytes('hex').decode('ascii')
bytes = text.encode('ascii').decodebytes('hex')
Fine, so we need new methods for PyUnicode and PyString objects
which allow encoding and decoding using the same type (and enforce
the return types).
Any suggestions ?
How about these:
str.str_encode() -> str
str.str_decode() -> str
bytes.bytes_encode() -> bytes
bytes.bytes_decode() -> bytes
Cool, a naming contest :)
What about transform/untransform?
Not bad :-)
Here's a version without underscores:
str.encodestr() -> str
str.decodestr() -> str
bytes.encodebytes() -> bytes
bytes.decodebytes() -> bytes
